Re: [Bacula-users] Restart Director and Run Previously Pending Jobs?

You don’t mention what version of bacula that you are running. The restart or resume commands are available in v7.x. As a rather new feature it is not mature and may or may not actually resume the job. If it does not, it’ll start a new jobid with the level of backup that would be normal for the day that you initiate the restart, not the level of the job that you wanted to restart.

Subject: [Bacula-users] Restart Director and Run Previously Pending Jobs?

Hi,

In a moment of 'fat fingers', I just restarted my Bacula Director (service bacula-dir restart) while it was running a series of backup jobs.

On restart, Bacula marks all the running/pending jobs as failed. I know I can reschedule on failure, but that'll only start things at some point in the future. Is there a way to tell the Director to continue to run Pending jobs after restarting it?

Cheers,

...Ralph
