tags 956083 + patch,pending thanks Hello Tina!
I have prepared a _very_ simple patch for this issue that lacks
elegance, but I think solves the problem: As it is invoked before the
data rotation, it will notify via stderr and exit before destroying
past data:
diff --git a/autopostgresqlbackup b/autopostgresqlbackup
index 19f2264..2b9eb14 100755
--- a/autopostgresqlbackup
+++ b/autopostgresqlbackup
@@ -367,6 +367,14 @@ dbdump () {
pg_dump --username=$USERNAME $PGHOST $OPT $db >> $2
fi
fi
+ # Was the dump successful? We can only guess based on the
+ # return status of the command.
+ if [ $? != 0 ]
+ then
+ echo "Errors reported by dump process! (return code: $?)" >&2
+ echo $@ >&2
+ exit 1
+ fi
done
return 0
}
I will now proceed to build the package and upload to the 5-day
delayed queue.
FWIW, this is part of the LatinAmerica 2021.03 BSP ;-)
