Hi - Did some digging and I can't come up with much.
Long story short, I'm trying to come up with a (semi-) intelligent way to back up MySQL binary logs. I've made areal good progress with this project, but would be elated if I could find a way to set and subsequently pass user-defined variables through a job. Say for example, I have many clients to which I'd apply the same Job, but those clients might need some one-off information. In the case of my MySQL project, I'd like to define a MySQL username, password, and hostname in the Client resource which would then make those variables available in all parts - FileSet, Job, and any other place I want. Rather than creating a Job resource for each client, I want similar (but not identical) processes to use the same Job specification. Another reason why this becomes important is because, when backing up binary logs on a MySQL master, I need to ask the slave which binary log it last read, and delete previous binary logs off of the master - using Bacula. In order to get this "checkpoint" data, so that I know which prior binary logs to delete, I'd need to not sabotage replication by trying to delete an in-use binary log. Long story short: Is it possible to create and then use user-defined variables throughout Bacula?
