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.
