I've tried to search using some different keywords and combinations but have had no luck in finding an answer. Here's my situation . I am backing up around 150 different files from a NAS but using multiple hosts to do so in order to keep the file transfer size down to <20GB at a time. This is across the 'internet' so bandwidth is not under my control and I want to make sure the jobs don't crap out at bad times. I've found that <20GB at a time usually works great.
But, in order to manage the sizes I first created the individual lists based on the size of the files/directories and input them manually into my config files for each host. For example, HOST1 may have 40 smaller files to get to the 20GB limit whereas HOST10 may only have 1 file/directory to get to the limit. Now I have the problem of trying to find an individual file/directory from around 18 different HOSTx setups. Is there an easy way to get/create a listing that would should the HOSTx and the files/directories that are being backed up under it? I have thought of trying to write a 'script' to traverse the individual HOSTx.pl files and extract the info - but my scripting is purely of a W10 nature and even at that is poor and wordy. (Oh for the days of COBOL and PL/1.) Just wondering if there is something I have missed in the documentation or in trying to search the forums. Someone must have had this problem before me. Thanks for your help DW
