Just wanted to point out that LBackup has a number of checks in place to detect failures during a backup. If this happens, then that backup is not labeled as a successful snapshot. At present, when the next snap shot is started, the previous incomplete snapshot(s) are not used as a link-dest source. As mentioned, this is something I have been looking at for a while. However, there are some edge cases which need to be handled carefully if you use incomplete backups as a link-dest source. I am sure these problems are all contractable, I have simply not spend enough time. --------------------------------------------------------------------- This email is protected by LBackup, an open source backup solution. http://www.lbackup.org -- Please use reply-all for most replies to avoid omitting the mailing list.
