Re: [Bacula-devel] New feature request - comma operators in schedules

Hello Heath,

Thanks for using Bacula.

I guess it is not much fun to read such a large manual, so perhaps I could suggest that it is fun to go off to a Bacula Admin I course -- all students love it, and in that course you learn about Bacula without having to read the manual. You also learn that commas between items such as Months and days of the week are perfectly well handled by Bacula. The same is true for ranges of months and days by separating the start and end days with a hyphen.

Bottom line: this has been implemented in Bacula from the beginning.

By the way, the best place to file a feature request is in the bugs database (features section).

Best regards,
Kern

Item 1: Allow combinations of parameters separated by commas

in job schedules

Date: 11 April 2014

Status:

What: The ability to allow combinations of parameters

separated by commas would clean up some schedule

definitions.

Why: An example is the easiest way to explain this -

Schedule {

Name = "dailyWithFullEveryOtherMonth"

Run = Level=Full Jan 1st Sun at 23:05

Run = Level=Differential Feb 1st Sun at 23:05

Run = Level=Full Mar 1st Sun at 23:05

Run = Level=Differential Apr 1st Sun at 23:05

.

. Shortened for readability.

.

Run = Level=Differential Dec 1st Sun at 23:05

Run = Level=Differential 2nd-5th Sun at 23:05

Run = Incremental Mon-Sat at 23:05

}

Could be simplified to -

Schedule {

Name = "dailyWithFullEveryOtherMonth"

Run = Level=Full Jan,Mar,May,Jul,Sep,Nov 1st Sun at 23:05

Run = Level=Differential Feb,Apr,Jun,Aug,Oct,Dec 1st Sun at 23:05

Run = Level=Differential 2nd-5th Sun at 23:05

Run = Incremental Mon-Sat at 23:05

}

Notes: Comma operators could be allowed in the specification of the month,

weekday, and time. Program logic would have to expand to all combinations.

Ex: Jan,Feb 1st Sun,Wed would have to expand to Jan 1st Sun, Jan 1st Wed,

Feb 1st Sun, Feb 1st Wed.
