Hi,

I think I am right about this:, When a backup job is aborted the files on the server aren't rolled back, are they?
Following this idea the backup "log" should contain everything that has been done/transferred instead of just 1 line "has been cancelled".

Thank you, Frank

Franks,

Files are NOT rolledback. The abort operation finds the first available door and exits without corrupting the file ending the backup operation as soon as possible. 

Dear Imran,

that's exactly what I wrote: "I think I am right about this:, When a backup job is aborted the files on the server aren't rolled back, are they? "
Following that idea: If you backed up 5 files and then I aborted the log file has to read like this:
Backup started on 29.10.12 10:06 and completed with one or more error. Time elapsed: 34:20 min.

Total bytes transferred 12.34 MB
Total files: 5
Total errors: 1

D:\Test\Testfile1.tst - Partial file - 1234 bytes
D:\Test\Testfile2.tst - Partial file - 1234 bytes
D:\Test\Testfile4.tst - Partial file - 1234 bytes
D:\Test\Testfile5.tst - Partial file - 1234 bytes
D:\Test\Testfile6.tst - Partial file - 1234 bytes

Backup aborted upon user's request

 instead of

Backup aborted upon user's request
