I believe you are referring to the checkpoint restart. It became
available in 5.0 GA for backups for Standard and Windows backups. (it's
been available for restores since 4.5 FP3).=0D

This is from the release notes for 5.0:

6 NetBackup Release Notes for UNIX and Windows
New Backup Capabilities With This Release
NetBackup 5.0 contains enhancements and new features that enable a user
to restart a backup at the last check point in the middle of the backup,
build a new synthetic image, and enhanced open file backups to name a
few.
~ NetBackup Supports Checkpoint Restart for Backup Jobs
Checkpoint Restart allows a failed backup job to be resumed from the
last checkpoint. Checkpoints are taken periodically during a backup.
Therefore, if a backup job fails, the issue causing the failure can be
corrected and the job can be resumed from the last checkpoint rather
than at the beginning, thus saving time. In addition, an active backup
job may be suspended and then resumed from the last checkpoint at a
later time. Also, jobs may be restarted from the beginning by selecting
them from the Activity Monitor.
Checkpoint restart for backups is supported for:
~ Backup jobs (support for restore jobs was introduced in 4.5 FP3).
~ Resume on file boundaries. This means the backup is resumed from the
next file after the last check-pointed file (for example, a resume
cannot occur within a file).
~Backups of file-system backups (backups which use the Standard or
Microsoft Windows policy types only).
~File system local and alternate client snapshot backups are supported.
Other offhost backups (for example, Media Server Copy or Third Party
Copy) are not supported.

Subject: [Veritas-bu] 5.1 Feature or Rumor? - Backup Fails; then
continues from POF
Can anyone confirm....
=0D
Have I read that with 5.1 if a backup fails, you can now resubmit the
job and if Enterprise sees a failure of that host within the same backup
window that it will now continue the backup from the POF (point of
failure) and finish the job?
=0D
Would be very handy when backing up a 2 terabyte system that fails 3/4
of the way into the job.
=0D
Thanks,
Scott
