    Extract from 'bpdbjobs -help'

    bpdbjobs: -resume | -suspend | -delete | -cancel | -restart
            <job1,job2,...jobn> | type=<jobtype> | type=all

     
    Please understand that only Standard and MS-Windows jobs with 'Take Checkpoints' enabled in Policy Attributes can be suspended.
     
    Checkpoint is taken at file boundaries and will cointain a pointer to the next file in the list.
    So, there is no reason why backup would be corrupt. (Done it many times at a large customer site.)
