I was wondering if it was possible to utilize base jobs to dedup files while ignoring the paths in which they reside in. The situation I'm trying to use them in is such:
* I have a large subversion repository which has an up-to-date checkout in /var/svn. This gets backed up as the base job. * Each user in /home/userXXX also has a full checkout under /home/userXXX/svn, which may or may not be up-to-date and may or may not have had changes made to the files within. The idea is to utililze the base job to minimize the backup size of /home. I was hoping that it would compare each file found in /home/userXXX/svn against the base job's /var/svn copy, and only backup files which have been modified (I'm matching on BaseJob = s5, size and MD5 only). From my initial testing, this doesn't seem to work. Is this is a current (intentional?) limitation of Base Jobs? I realize my scenario is quite different from the one presented in the documentation (backing up full system images while dedup'ng redundant OS binary backups). I can provide director config snippets if necessary. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Download Intel® Parallel Studio Eval Try the new software tools for yourself.
