[BackupPC-users] Moved cable, backup kept going

[Chris B. <cb...@in...>]

I had something strange happen. One of my backups had started about 15
minutes before. I then decided to move the cable to the backup host from a
switch to a router. In the process of moving the cable, the backup kept
right on going. Has anyone seen this happen?
