Hi all,
since this is my first post to this list, let me first thank you a lot
for developing/supporting this nice software bacula!
I am a bacula newbie and just started to use it doing backups of my home
systems.
My question is, if it is generally possible for the file-daemon to
recover from a lost network connection during a backup job.
What happened here:
I started a full backup of a Windows XP computer (file daemon) to a
linux computer (running the director and storage daemon). After several
hours the network connection was lost (lets say physically). The file
daemon on windows aborts the job (with status "error"), while the
director and the storage daemon still saying, that "the job is running".
Questions:
1) is this normal behaviour, that a connection loss of the file daemon
results in the abort of the backup job?
2) is it possible to resume such a job?
3) the backup was done to tapes. Is it possible to reclaim the space
used by the now aborted job, without loosing data on the tape from
previous jobs?
These questions may sound silly, and may be answered in the
documentation, but I haven't found anything.
Greetings,
Timm
