Hello, Kern! Thank you for explanation. And - yes, I do know the difference between "may not" and "not" =) It is a bit strange - at the moment of error bacula "knows" what job is being running but the only warning is in log-file. Of course log file can be periodically parsed, but why not to mark job with warning flag as at this point we can not be sure is job valid or not. > Hello, > > The Bacula behavior is indeed correct (as programmed).
