[Burp-users] Electric power loss during burp backup

[jacques c. <jac...@gm...>]

How can I resume ( fix ? ) a backup after an electic shut down.
This situation didn't occured to me but the way a burp server is working
brings this question.

I do not mean an electric power loss while a client is backing up but a
loss of power while the server is re-arranging/moving files in the backup
( to be clear: when a link named "finishing" exists on the backup and
eventually a lockfile link still exists too. )

burp handles the situation of a power down during the backup (
resume/delete option in client config file ) but what happens if the loss
of power occurs after the client achieved its work ?
