Bacula does auto file naming for me, so my retention period

because it could be server-Full-001, or server-Full-001, etc., I don't know
how to tell the backup-to-tape fileset to grab the most recent volume, and
leave the rest alone because I have no desire to backup EVERYTHING to tape,
just the previous nights backup jobs.
Thanks in advance for any help/ideas you guys have to offer.

Here is what I did. This will have to work for me until the clone feature
makes it into a released version.
In the job def I have:
Run After Job = "/root/bacula_postexec.sh %v"
The %v gets expanded to the volume name.
Here is the shell script. It is simple and gets the job done. I could not
get bcopy to work. With this way you will have to restore the volume to the
disk before you can use it.
------------------------------------------------------
#!/bin/bash
# Take the volume name from the command line
disk_volume=$1
# Take the week number from a file (we have 3 weeks of tapes)
weeknum=`cat /root/weeknum`
# Take the day of the week for the tape label
day=`date -d yesterday +%a|tr '[A-Z]' '[a-z]'`
cd /etc/bacula
# Rewind the tape -- we will have every job in the volume and don't need more
mt rewind
# Write the volume to the tape with a label
tar cvf /dev/nst0 -V oink-$day-$weeknum /backup/$disk_volume
# This lets me know the copy finished
mt offline
# Increment the weeknum at the end of the week
if [ $weekday='sat' ]
then
let weeknum=$weeknum+1
if [ $weeknum > 3 ]
then
weeknum=1
fi
echo $weeknum > /root/weeknum
fi
Hi ,
I'm basically doing the same , but I copy my volumes to disk for offsite
usage. Now I am a bit fo a newbie when it comes to scripts , but this
script looks like exactly what I need to automate my offsite backups ,
however I will probably manually run the script everyday. If anyone has
the time / patience to guide me through this I would greatly appreciate
it. I run a full backup 1st Sun of every month with daily Incrementals
after that (hope this is an OK strategy?) , and I copy the latest (the
previous day's) volumes to the offsite disk.Basically what I do is to
create a dir wth the date , and then copy the volumes to their
respective dir on the offsite disk ex:
mkdir /offsite1/apollo/2005-06-06
cp -v --preserve=all /arch/apollo/apollousersincr-0010
/offsite1/apollo/2005-06-06
Thanks in advance!
