View Full Version : Need Recover Function

Like a few people, I've lost a few runs due to some kind of unknown (or known) problems. It seems to me that the key recovery data could be kept somewhere not being used during normal processing, and that this could be used somehow to provide a system recovery function.

For instance. I lost a run because suddenly filelist.txt had a size of zero bytes. If the key information in filelist.txt was kept in a separate file only created and accessed at run start time, that info could be used to search the folder and recreate filelist.txt and therefor the run could continue.

There are several errors that produce similar bad data. If the bad data files could be purged, perhaps the run could continue from a previous good state.

The recovery function could be driven by another flag and only perform the recovery function... (similar to the -ut flag which only performs the upload...)

Just my $0.02 worth...
