In short it decends ICManage and Synchronicity Workspaces listing files that are not protected by Revision control. But it also marshals the files and writes other files to allow for management allowing users to be notified if they fail to check in files on a regular basis and clean up unneed files from work areas. So, instead of > > Include { > Options { > compression=GZIP > signature = MD5 > } > # Backup Specific Files Not Under Revision Control > File = "\\</var/lib/bacula/cyswaps.workspaces" > } you could to File="\\|/path/to/your.script" if the script just prints the files to back up to stdout. >>>> The standard output/error are piped to /dev/null. Of course, you could do other things in the script as well, as long as they don't produce output, like actually creating some of the files to back up. You might end up with a situation where the backup level doesn't matter, for example if you create files in the script, they will always be new and thus picked up by jobs of any level. >>>> Backing all this up to disk and have some concern for a manageable retention/recycling schedule as we are in the early stages of this development. By using the crontab to call the bacula job I have the ability to test if the file list exists or if it is complete assuring the script did not fail. I have incorporated a function to determine the dayofweek and currently the crontab will call a level=full on Saturday and default to incrementals other days. >>>> Thanks for your time and direction! Clark Arno >>>> When I attempted to run the script as a ClientRunBeforeJob and RunScript On the Client it would use whatever files were in the list at the time the Scheduler started the job not the files that were generated by the script. So basically the file list from the previous run was being backed up and not the list from the current run of the script. > > Clark > > ---------------------------------------------------------------------- > -------- Join us December 9, 2009 for the Red Hat Virtual Experience, > a free event focused on virtualization and cloud computing. > Attend in-depth sessions from your desk.
