Hi, I've noticed that with spooling enabled I see wrong status information about a job in the 'Terminated Jobs' field.
*status client=xxxx-fd Connecting to Client xxxx-fd at xxxx:9102 xxxx-fd Version: 2.2.4 (14 September 2007) x86_64-pc-linux-gnu debian 4.0 Daemon started 02-Okt-07 22:24, 5 Jobs run since started. Heap: heap=696,320 smbytes=151,449 max_bytes=294,273 bufs=68 max_bufs=120 Sizeof: boffset_t=8 size_t=8 debug=1 trace=0 Running Jobs: Director connected at: 05-Okt-07 15:55 No Jobs running. ==== Terminated Jobs: JobId Level Files Bytes Status Finished Name ====================================================================== [...] 698 Full 138 163.6 G OK 05-Okt-07 15:25 xxxx-Volume1 In fact job #698 was still running at 15:55 it was just despooling data. It seems that the time the job finished spooling was taken as end time. 05-Okt 15:25 xxxx-sd: Job write elapsed time = 00:27:18, Transfer rate = 99.88 M bytes/second 05-Okt 15:25 xxxx-sd: Committing spooled data to Volume "A00020L4". Despooling 163,769,682,777 bytes ... Later after despooling has finished (this time status dir): *status dir xxxx-dir Version: 2.0.3 (06 March 2007) x86_64-unknown-linux-gnu debian 4.0 Daemon started 05-Okt-07 14:33, 3 Jobs run since started. Heap: bytes=225,905 max_bytes=294,682 bufs=1,499 max_bufs=1,520 Scheduled Jobs: [...] Running Jobs: [...] Terminated Jobs: JobId Level Files Bytes Status Finished Name ==================================================================== [...] 698 Full 138 163.6 G OK 05-Okt-07 16:03 xxxx--Volume1 Now the time in the 'Terminated Jobs' list has changed from 15:25 to 16:03 - which was the real time the job finished. I can't say what a 'status dir' returns during despooling, but the fact that the despooling job is in the list of finished jobs is a bit misleading. I'll watch the 'status dir' output during the next backup and see if it doesn't report a running job during despooling, but I guess it will show the right status.
