Changing the Backup Timeouts
If the backup process takes longer than the default timeouts (10 minutes for
pg_dump and 1 minute for tar), you can increase the timeout values by
performing the following steps:
To change the timeout value for backups:
Command window
1.
Log in to the NAC 800 server as root, either using SSH or directly with a
keyboard.
2.
Enter the following at the command line to increase the pg_dump timeout:
setProperty.py -m
Compliance.Backup.PgDumpCmdTimeout=<milliseconds>
Where:
<milliseconds> is the number of milliseconds that the backup will wait
on the pg_dump command before stopping and providing a process
stopped message. For example, the default is 600000 (10 minutes).
3.
Enter the following at the command line to increase the tar timeout:
setProperty.py -m
Compliance.Backup.TarCmdTimeout=<milliseconds>
Where:
<milliseconds> is the number of milliseconds that the backup will wait
on the tar command before stopping and providing a process stopped
message. For example, the default is 60000 (1 minute).
