I do not see in the 7.2.1 release supplement (Windows) about this fix
(hanging client stops backups).   Where is it?

One of the new fixes in 7.2.1 that really appeals to me is a fix to the
problem where when the backup of one client fails, it just hangs its
savegroup. The release notes say this issue has been fixed. I hope so. I
know some people have scripted their way around this problem, but I
would rather the problem actually be fixed, and it looks like Legato did
fix it. We'll see though if the fix actually works, because the one
night of production time I have had with 7.2.1 so far is not enough of a
barometer.
