Cancelled Jobs in Beckup Exec


Hi,

Does a cancelled job in backup exec start over or pick up where it left off when re-ran?


Thanks

    A cancelled job means exactly that: It is cancelled.  That instance of the job is gone.  It cannot be restarted.  However, if you still have the job, you can re-submit it to run again.

    That is what I thought as well. Someone else I work with was under the impression if it cancelledm it could then restart at the point of cancelled.

    Sounds like an idea for the product to add a way to pause a job and continue it at a later point. That would be helpful.

    Thanks for the confirm on the cancel job.

    You can add this request at the "Ideas" area of the forum (Top menu bar, far right)

    If enough people give it a thumbs up, it may be included in a future release
