Package: cedar-backup2
Version: 2.19.4-2
Severity: wishlist
First, thanks for writing and maintaining cedar-backup2. I have found
it very useful for regular backups.
I use cback-span regularly and often have failures in either starting
writing the disk or in mounting the disk for the consistency check.
In both cases, I believe the failure is just due to the drive not
settling quickly enough. These failures necessitate restarting the
whole process and burning a whole new set of disks, which can be
wasteful of both time and DVD+R's if I'm on one of the last disks of a
big backup.
I request new features to catch these failures and allow retrying of
the events. In particular,
1. If the writing fails (for any reason, not just failure to start
writing), the option of restarting the write should be given.
(This would allow the user to insert a new medium, if necessary.)
2. If the consistency check fails (again, for any reason), allow the
user to either,
A. Re-run the consistency check, or
B. Re-write the disk (again, possibly with a new medium).
Thanks again,
Jan Medlock
