One more :)
Resume uncompleted backup.
I guess this should be quite easy to implement in Bacula 3.0 with Virtual
Backup.
The process would look smth like that:
1) A big full (or differential) job starts, but errors out, because of network
issue or smth
2) DIR marks the job as completed successfully, so that Bacula can base the
next job on it
3) DIR starts the incremental job based on the errored out full/diff
4) DIR merges the 2 backups, irrespective of whether the incremental job
completed successfully or not
5) While incremental job doesn't complete successfully, repeat points 3 and 4.
To my mind this could be done even manually, but it would be quite a pain
without any scripts. But if we talk about backups that are a few tens of GB
backed up over 50 KB/s WAN, then it would still benefit :)
