Hi All..
Is there a way of backing up just the directory without the files inside
it? i.e. /proc
I'm 95% certain that you can create a FileSet which takes a list of targets
from the output of a script. You could use this feature to solve your problem
by writing a very small script which used find and create a recursive
directory list.
*checks the documentation*
Indeed, you can do this, see:
http://www.bacula.org/rel-manual/Configuring_Director.html#SECTION000147000000000000000
Something like this might do the trick (untested):
FileSet {
...
Include {
File = "|dirlist.sh /proc"
}
}
Where dirlist.sh is:
#!/bin/sh
/usr/bin/find $1-type d
You could do this without the separate file, but its personal preference.
Thanks for the insight Dom, the option with the script could be viable
but it wouldn't be the best solution.
I wrote this little script:
#!/bin/sh
for f in `/bin/ls -1 /proc`; do
echo "/proc/$f"
done
Which worked fine, but as directories are created "on the fly" inside
proc it can miss something.
I found I simpler way... (actually...a pretty logical one), it worked
just fine....
FileSet {
Name = "testproc"
Include {
Options {
signature = MD5
compression = GZIP
wild = /proc/*
wild = /tmp/*
exclude = yes
}
File = /
File = /proc
}
Cheers
Bruno
I'd like to be able to backup /proc for instance and in case I need to
do a bare metal recovery I wouldn't need to create /proc manually.
I tried some wildcards but wasn't successful.
Any suggestions ?
Thanks
Bruno
