It is indeed aborted when a user logs out. This is particularly troubling during a restore, since it is not atomic, does not resume, and can leave incomplete files behind.

[In another thread](https://forum.duplicati.com/t/logging-out-mid-activity/3775/8) this was discussed with the solution of running the server on a per user basis using a Linux service template file. (Slightly unfinished as of now, since there needs to be a customization of port number by user name, but a final service file will be posted there once written and tested.)

Thanks for the help!
