Regarding fixing the Script API I think I might have found a bug (using Amanda
2.6.1p1): POST-HOST-BACKUP only seems to get executed once per amdump.
To reproduce this bug I use the following disklist:
mail01.oelstrasse.boksa.de /var/mail {
default
script {
plugin "amlog-script"
execute-where server
execute_on pre-host-backup, post-host-backup
property "logfile" "/tmp/test"
}
}
www01.oelstrasse.boksa.de /var/www {
default
script {
plugin "amlog-script"
execute-where server
execute_on pre-host-backup, post-host-backup
property "logfile" "/tmp/test"
}
}
The result (found in /tmp/test) is:
DailySet1 pre-host-backup server www01.oelstrasse.boksa.de /var/www
DailySet1 pre-host-backup server mail01.oelstrasse.boksa.de /var/mail
DailySet1 post-host-backup server mail01.oelstrasse.boksa.de /var/mail
Obviously there is something wrong.
Is this a known bug? If not: Where should I file it? Are there any known
workarounds for this bug?
Looking forward to your comments!
Regards
Benjamin
