Running bconsole for bacula 2.4.4 on Debian Lenny, the cancel command in bconsole insisted on cancelling something. It did not let me exit from the cancel dialog without selecting a job to cancel, and when I hit enter a few times it cancelled my currently running job (trashing 18 hours of work).
Is this a bug? Does anyone care, given the old version? I notice that 2.4 was still listed as the production release in some slided from the recent bacula conference. Is there a way to exit from the cancel dialog other than ^c? I gather there is no way to resume the job. Some comments on the list seem to indicate that even the files that were backed up will be unrecoverable. Is that the case? The backup volumes were encrypted (by bacula) and on disk. Below is a log with some # comments added later. *status dir # Cyrus job is running and scheduled corn-dir Version: 2.4.4 (28 December 2008) i486-pc-linux-gnu debian 5.0.7 Daemon started 01-Jan-11 23:37, 3 Jobs run since started.
