Package: backupninja
Version: 0.9.6-4
Severity: wishlist

Hi,

Apparently no locking of anykind is performed when backupninja launches
backup actions. This might cause launching of several concurrent
instances of the same backup action job, which is not desirable. This
would happen if the first backup action does not finish until the next
one is scheduled. For example, one might have an rdiff-backup job
scheduled to run daily, which normally completes in matter of minutes or
hours. But due to large changes in data and congested
network link, it might take more than 24 hours to do the backup data
transfer. I think backupninja should implement per-backup action locking
so that in this case further invocations of the job would be skipped
until the long-running job started previous day is finished.

Regards,
