That is curious. Perhaps I should update one of the > clients and try again. I updated one host (tallboy) from FreeBSD 14.1 to FreeBSD 14.2 - initial tests are good. Not seeing the problem on an scp which previously failed. Now doing the real test: Bacula backup over OpenVPN - about 8-9GB. I should know more by about 2145 UTC today - that's about how long that backup should take, based on the February full backup. -- Dan Langille [email protected]
