Is there a way to tell a Backup job not to start if there is no correct
label found on the changer? I do not want to use amflush later because
/amandadumps is too small to host all level 0 images during a monthly
archival backup.
I do this:
----------------------------------------------------
#!/bin/bash
#Check tape, and only run backup if successful
DUMP=HomeDumps
/usr/sbin/amcheck -w $DUMP
if [ $? -eq 0 ]
then
#retension tape
mt retension
#run backup for group
/usr/sbin/amdump $DUMP
#verify the tape
echo Verifying ${DUMP}
/usr/sbin/amverify $DUMP
else
echo Failed $DUMP
fi
----------------------------------------------------
Customise to suit...
This will force a non amanda tape or a tape from another amanda job to
be used by MonthlyJob. What I want is not to start MonthlyJob if there
are no labels for it in the changer. I was hoping that there is native
support for this in the configuration but I guess I will have to script
this behavior myself.
Thanks anyway :)
