Hi !
I`m playing with the bacula-configuration here (1.37.36) and i noticed
the following behaviour.
I started a backup-job to backup our Windows 2003 Server ... everything
ran fine till the windows-box crashed (still investigating why but this
is something else i think - not bacula related). Now the director says
the job is still running. Meanwhile i have added another backup-job to
the queue that is awaiting the end of the first job.
Now even if i cancel the windows-backup-job and the director says it is
properly canceled it still won`t go away ... from the documentation i
got the idea that it should continue after a few minutes but now i
waited an hour an nothing happened. (logfiles at bottom)
Restarting the director solved the problem, alltough i had to start the
second job again.
My concern is that when our bacula setup goes live and during the
nightly backup-run ONE client crashes during the backup and the complete
backup hangs ? Is there some sort of timeout that notices the client
isn`t sending data anymore ? Is there a way to continue the backup from
where it crashed (i doubt this functionality exists) ?
If i had a Full-Backup pool for the crashed machine with a volume
retention time of 2 months and 2 volumes maximum - what would happen if:
sunday fullbackup crashes - volume marked as used
monday - incremental gets upgraded to full - volume marked as used
tue-sat - incrementals as usual
sunday fullbackup -> retention time for both used volumes are not over
so what happens ?

After that i waited about an hour for the job to cancel but only
restarting the director did the trick
