This feature is available in Enterprise version of Bacula. It is called Incomplete job and allow to restart a backup job after a failure no matter when a failure occurred. best regards -- Radosław Korzeniewski rados...@korzeniewski.net -- Live Security Virtual Conference Exclusive live event will cover all the ways today's security and threat landscape has changed and how IT managers can respond.

You mentioned projects. Perhaps you could create 1 job per project + 1 job for whatever is the rest? Could that work? I actually do this for my medical imaging data (ConeBeamCT, MR, Ultrasound, LungCT ...) .

Bacula does not have this feature. The first error of any kind it sees cancels the job.

[Bacula-users] is tape backup resume supported or possible?
Hi all, Lately I have large backups of 10 - 15 Tb that we run weekly because it takes days to complete on an LT04. Some times the backup stops for some reason near completion. Is there a way to resume from where it stop? I mean I can rewrite one tape (the one that got error) if it is that, but rewriting 11 - 15 tapes it is not cool.
