Restarting Job stream

[varunprakash]

I am using multistreaming (4) for a job. 2 stream got failed with error 13.when i try to rerun the particullar streams, it is not allowing me to do. I have to restart all the  sreams to complete the backup.

But in another job, i can able to restart the particullar stream.

May i know the reason for this?

More info, please?
What kind of job - what is the policy type? Only Standard and MS-Windows-NT qualify.
Was 'Checkpoint' enabled in policy attribute?

The job which i can't able to restart the failed streams

ncremental backup, Policy type: MS-Windows

Checkpoint not enabled.

The job which i can able to restart the failed streams

Incremental backup, Policy type: Standrad

Checkpoint not enabled.

Why not enable Checkpoint Restart? With this option, failed jobs can be resumed from last checkpoint. Without checkpoints, failed jobs are restarted from beginning.


If you search the Admin Guide for 'restart', there are some examples of cases where jobs cannot be restarted, e.g:
"Child jobs that are part of a multiple copies parent job cannot be restarted individually. Only the parent job (and subsequently all the children jobs) can be restarted."

Thats our client request. I am working as per client's policy.

Here i just want to know the reason why it is not possible for one policy and it is for another one.
