Hi I use amanda to back up a number of servers, but we've recently added a new system which needs its database quiesced before the backup runs. Initially it looked as though the script API was probably the solution, but the documentation (understandably I suppose since it's quite a new API) isn't really proving much help.
I have two problems: 1) I can't see any way to have a pre-dle-backup script run, and allow the backup itself to proceed only if the script succeeds; if the script fails the backup should be abandoned. 2) I can't see any way to run a post-dle-backup script which takes different actions depending on the success or failure of the backup. Without these two abilities, I'm not sure the script API actually solves my problem. I could, of course, write a wrapper in the old-fashioned way but I'm keen to avoid that if possible. Does anyone have any ideas or suggestions for me? Thanks in advance Jonathan
