Dear All

While backing up a laptop with a large amount of data the laptop went into
suspend/standby mode while the 10GB of data was being written to tape
(approx through put to tape is about 10 GB /hour). See below.

I have fixed the laptop's power options it now never goes into stand by or
hibernate than the disc spin down is 2 hours. My other option was to
reduce the spool data size.

The problem is the there is a mismatch after the disconnection. In the
Manual section under Tips and Suggestions it indicates this only occurs
when the Director or Storage daemon crashes - maybe the File Daemon should
be added. I manually used this method to get the Volume out of its error
state. See Below.

I understand the reason for Bacula to be conservative with regard to
volume versus catalog information but I wonder if there could be an option
to automatically correct the mismatch and issue a Warning email / message
instead of the OK message/email so the sysadmin can then check the Volume
is ok by restoring a file from the job.

I cannot be the only person using Bacula to backup clients over the
network - what if a switch or router fails this would cause a similar
problem.

This software beats the pants off any commercial software I have used /
tested.

Thanks
Stephen Carr
