Public bug reported:
Some incremental backups have been seen to take a long time (see
reports from me and Jean-Peer in
https://answers.launchpad.net/nssbackup/+question/116342 ). If a backup
isn't working, it would be nice to cancel it and try again.
Proposal: Add a "cancel after n hours" option to nssbackup
configuration. Allow the user to optionally specify that the next
backup attempt after a failed backup should always be a full backup.
Proposed UI (based on this report and my previous request to separate
run frequency from backup frequency):
Check to see if a backup should be run: [n] minutes/hours/days
Run an incremental backup every : [n] hours/days
Perform a full backup every: [n] hours
[x] Cancel an incremental backup if it takes more than: [n] hours
The last successful full backup took 0 days 4 hours 15 minutes.
(Informational message to guide setting for above parameter)
[x] Always run a full backup after an incremental backup is canceled.
