I'm using Bacula 2.2.5 and have tried auto labeling with
LabelFormat but haven't had much luck. I don't know python but since
LabelFormat is deprecated I thought I'd go ahead and give it a try. My
goal is to get volume names ( and the corresponding file name on disk,
I'm backing up to disk ) to be formatted like jobname-date-"two digit
number of volumes for this job". I've also set the max volume size to 5
GB. So if I had a job named sivadaily run at 0300 and backup 9 GB I
would like the resulting two volumes to be sivadaily-20071130fr0300-01
and sivadaily-20071130fr0300-02.
I started with the sample director startup script and the
documentation at
http://www.bacula.org/dev-manual/Python_Scripting.html#SECTION003560000000000000000.
I defined "jobname = job.JobName" and modified job.VolumeName in
NewVolume() to be 'job.VolumeName="%s-%d" % (jobname, numvol)'. Then I
ran a test job, cas-testdaily, and got volume autolabeled as 'Labeled
new Volume "jobname-44"'.
So I guess definition of jobname didn't work. Also, I'm assuming
the %s and %d are for string variable and integer variable although a
bit of googling and python manual reading hasn't verified that.
Any suggestions for how to accomplish what I'm after and
recommendations for learning the python basics demonstrated in the
sample script?
