Description
When restoring a database from a SMB/CIFS server, any error from the smbclient used for transferring data causes the entire restore process to quit.
We’ve added retries, better error handling, and improved general stability.
Workaround
Sometimes increasing the client timeouts help.
Fix
Failures should be reduced significantly.
