Hi again.
It's probably a better idea to use a dedicated backup tool to do this.
Puppet wasn't designed as a backup tool. It can likely be setup to manage
the backup software and such.

I have a module i wrote that seems like it will do what you need.

As for the 'SHOULD I do this?' question, I think it's a perfectly
acceptable pattern as long as you understand that if File['bar'] fails,
File['baz'] will NOT be evaluated/created. If that's what you want, then
that's okay. If that's NOT what you want, then you need to change the
dependency.

Mark,
Dependencies can be 'chained' exactly as you specified in your gist.
File['baz'] will indeed come after File['foo'] and File['bar'] without the
explicit dependency on File['bar'].

I am using the following and it serves us well. Basically it makes sure

Hi Pete,
It depends on what version of puppet you use. If you use 3.x, then it has
hiera built-in. So it's very simple to write classes which are compatible
with v2.7 or v3.x versions.
I normally write something like this:
class foo(
$parameter = undef,
) {...}
What that means is that puppe
Well you can tell puppet to source a whole directory and put it

include nagios::targ
