What about the data that was spooled? We spool 60gigs of data before we flush to tape, and we have a remote system that is backed up over SSH. Right now the connection isn't as good as it could be so every now and again the ssh tunnel will go down and the backup will fail. Sometimes there is a good chunk of data sitting in the spool not yet flushed to tape. Since the spool is a disk file, it should be easier to drop the data that is sitting there no? -- Jesse Keating GameHouse -- Systems Engineer ------------------------------------------------------- SF.Net email is Sponsored by the Better Software Conference & EXPO September 19-22, 2005 * San Francisco, CA * Development Lifecycle Practices Agile & Plan-Driven Development * Managing Projects & Teams * Testing & QA Security * Process Improvement & Measurement * http://www.sqe.com/bsce5sf _______________________________________________ Bacula-users mailing list Bacula-users@lists.sourceforge.net https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/bacula-users
