Package: cedar-backup2 Version: 2.19.4-2 Severity: wishlist
First, thanks for writing and maintaining cedar-backup2. I have found it very useful for regular backups. I use cback-span regularly and often have failures in either starting writing the disk or in mounting the disk for the consistency check. In both cases, I believe the failure is just due to the drive not settling quickly enough. These failures necessitate restarting the whole process and burning a whole new set of disks, which can be wasteful of both time and DVD+R's if I'm on one of the last disks of a big backup. I request new features to catch these failures and allow retrying of the events. In particular, 1. If the writing fails (for any reason, not just failure to start writing), the option of restarting the write should be given. (This would allow the user to insert a new medium, if necessary.) 2. If the consistency check fails (again, for any reason), allow the user to either, A. Re-run the consistency check, or B. Re-write the disk (again, possibly with a new medium).
