I have just had a situation where I would have been happy to be able to resume a back-up job. The current job sensed end of tape and requested the mount of the next tape. Few minutes later the connection broke and the job was aborted. The back-up had run almost to completion, but I had to run the whole job again from the very beginning. -- Erik P.
