This has now been encountered by at least one other user and reported on bacula-users on Sunday by Andrew Ryder. It is possible to mostly work around it by resuming from the first file on the next tape as a separate backup job. The file that spans the tape change will have to be restored from a different backup in which it does not span a tape boundary. Any single file larger than a single tape is probably not restorable at all until bug #0002304 is fixed. -- Phil Stracchino Babylon Communications ph...@caerllewys.net p...@co.ordinate.org Landline: +1.603.293.8485 Mobile: +1.603.998.6958 ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Check out the vibrant tech community on one of the world's most engaging tech sites, Slashdot.org! http://sdm.link/slashdot _______________________________________________ Bacula-devel mailing list Bacula-devel@lists.sourceforge.net https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/bacula-devel
