Hi everyone!
I have get the following issue while trying to make a weekly backup of each 
client (Windows Client) and using one pool and one volume for each other. The 
idea is having just one weekly file per backup and per client, trying to save 
disk space.
The trouble occurs when some client is offline at the backup time. Then the 
jobs prunes the volume and recycles it, waiting for the new data to come, but 
as it's offline, after 2 minutes, the job drops an error (obviously). As 
result, the volume gets empty, deleting the previous data, so, you lose the 
backup until a new one is done when the client is online.
Is there a way to check connection before launching the job? I guess recycling 
and purging volume should be done AFTER the job is complete, not before.

Any help would be appreciated, thanks a lot!
