I’m having difficulty wrapping my brain around the DumpPre/DumpPost command on
a backup. I’ve got a database service that I need to shut down, run an
incremental backup, then start the service again. I’ve got it successfully
SSH’ing in and shutting down the service, running the backup, and then
restarting the service. However, how do I use the $type incr command to
specify only incremental backups?
Currently I have:
$Conf{DumpPreUserCmd} = '$sshPath -q -x -l root $host /root/serviceDown';
$Conf{DumpPostUserCmd} = '$sshPath -q -x -l root $host /root/serviceUp';
Problem #2:
I need the incremental to run after the full does, on the same day. I don’t
want the database service to be shut down for the length of time it takes to
run a full backup, so do the full, then run a followup incremental that shuts
down the service. Additionally, I assume that if I do a full once a week that
I need to keep 7 incrementals, rather than the previous 6, correct?
Thanks,
GH
