[Bug 601584] [NEW] Add a "cancel after n hours" option to nssbackup configuration

 

Public bug reported:

Some incremental backups have been seen to take a long time  (see
reports from me and Jean-Peer in
https://answers.launchpad.net/nssbackup/+question/116342 ). If a backup
isn't working, it would be nice to cancel it and  try again.

Proposal: Add a "cancel after n hours" option to nssbackup
configuration.  Allow the user to optionally specify that the next
backup attempt after a failed backup should always be a full backup.

Proposed UI (based on this report and my previous request to separate
run frequency from backup frequency):

   Check to see if a backup should be run:   [n] minutes/hours/days
   Run an incremental backup every : [n] hours/days
   Perform a full backup every: [n] hours

   [x] Cancel an incremental backup if it takes more than: [n] hours
   The last successful full backup took 0 days 4 hours 15 minutes.     (Informational message to guide setting for above parameter)
      [x] Always run a full backup after an incremental backup is canceled.
