Does Amanda have any kind of hooks to run external programs? I need to
backup a database server and would like a nice, clean way to have the
database
shutdown before the amanda backup begins. Ideally, it would be great if
this
could be done on the client side. That way the database server could
shut down
the database processes, do it's amanda thing, and then restart the DB
without having
to sit around and wait for the amanda server to finish with, say, the
mail server or
some such. It's possible to do with scripts, I'm sure, but would have
to be timed just
right and just really smacks of one of those "Well, the balloon pops
which scares the
chicken into laying an egg which hits the lever releasing the cannon
ball...etc..." kind
of solutions. :)
