| Description |
|
There are situations that the tarfile.add will fail for an open file and it is ignored. A retry mechanism should be investigated. |

We have not seen this issue recently. We are also working on the hang analyzer right now and this ticket looks stale. |

I'm linking another related BFG that didn't capture all the data files due to a problem adding a particular file to the tar. |

We should investigate whether retries would help capturing files that are currently open by the server on Windows. We should otherwise consider capturing a second data archive after the server has been terminated. |
