[Feature request] Partial backups

[A.Rogers]

Can I make a feature request? If a backup job has multiple objects but doesn't complete due to a backup window, crash or having to be reset etc, can we have the objects that have finished, be available in a partial backup point? We have the situation at the moment where you can have 999 mailboxes completed, 1 mailbox gets stuck and you don't get a restore point in the picker. You might be able to open the DB manually with an explorer but that is far from ideal.

It would be a great improvement to get an actual restore point for any data collected up until the job ended, however it ended. Particularly in a product where jobs can easily run for days or even weeks.

Such a restore point could be marked with an "Incomplete" flag. If the job is then retried, and the missing objects are then successfully backed up, the flag is cleared.

Hi,

It is a good idea, but not something easy to implement. We need to set "flags" to see what is protected when so in a case of a crash or whatever, we might get issues that we have an incomplete restore point, and the next restore point then might miss crucial information (which you obviously also don't want). But we can look into it
