Hello !
Thanks for the quick response !

Well, I don't know which section in the manual you refer to, but this is
a network timeout problem and that's rather long in bacula - 2 hours, I
think.
Ouch, 2 hours is hard ... but i guess i can configure around this
problem with allowing concurrent backups ... (for example one process
hanging and waiting for timeout and the other is backing up fine)
If i had a Full-Backup pool for the crashed machine with a volume
retention time of 2 months and 2 volumes maximum - what would happen if:
sunday fullbackup crashes - volume marked as used
monday - incremental gets upgraded to full - volume marked as used
tue-sat - incrementals as usual
sunday fullbackup -> retention time for both used volumes are not over
so what happens ?
I'm not sure I can follow your thought
Indeed you couldn`t ;-)
I noticed an error in my example tho, the retention time for the example
should be two weeks.
The question is about the volumes and their retention time.
On the second sunday bacula would try to make a backup, check for
available volumes in the full-pool and see two volumes (remember ? 2
volumes maximum), both in the used state (one 6 days old and ok, one 7
days old and damaged from the client-crash during the backup).
At least i got the impression that a failed backup leads to a closed,
used volume ... does bacula notice that this volume is incomplete and
flag it for recycling immediately ignoring the retention time ? (as the
data in the file is incomplete anyway).
