If the job is waiting on a media request, you can hold off on changing the media more or less as long as you want, within reason. (Though if you have your job "on hold" for a long time, it may cause other later jobs to fail - if you nave duplicate jobs disallowed, for example.) And as long as the same Director session is running and the client hasn't disconnected, you could swap the media later and let the job resume execution. But "snapshot" the job, suspend it, go away and do other stuff, restart any of the Bacula daemons involved, and come back at another time and pick up where you left off? No. Once a given instance of a job has *stopped* and its buffers are no longer in memory, it's either complete or it's failed, kaput, gone, adios, finito Benito. "It is no more. It has ceased to be!

Is it possible to 'pause' a job and then resume at a later time?
