Re: [Bacula-users] suspend a running backup?

Hello,

2012/8/28 hymie! <hymie AT lactose.homelinux DOT net>

So my backup runs at 1am when I'm supposed to be asleep.

Sometimes, however, something comes up, and I need to wake up and use
the machine that is being backed up.

Is there a way that I can pause or suspend a running backup, so that my
machine is not slowed by the file-system and network activity of the backup?
Then when I'm finished working, I can re-activate the backup, and have it
pick up where it left off? I don't want to completely cancel the backup,
especially if it's a "full", because it will just have to do it again.

This feature is implemented in Enterprise version of Bacula. You can stop and restart a backup Job. Additionally it brings a nice new feature: Incomplete Jobs where some failed jobs could be used for next backups and restore.

best regards
