Dear amanda-users,
maybe one of you has a good idea or even solution for the following task:
At a customer we run a specific backup-tool that pushes tarballs
containing VMware-VMs (their vmx/vmdk-files) to a network-share (CIFS)
which is hosted on a NAS (Fujitsu Q800).
There are several backups for each VM, which are rotated every day
(oldest gets deleted etc). So the names of the tarballs are changing all
the time.
I now want to pull only the latest tarball of each VM (=subdir) into
amanda and dump it to tape.
How to approach that?
Using the smbclient-mechanism of amanda ... ? This only gives me limited
possibilities. I would have to write a specific shell-script maybe:
mount.cifs $share ...
run some find-commands to generate include-list(s)
amdump ...
I think this will be the way to go but maybe I think too complicated?
would love to hear your ideas on this.
Stefan
