now i got a bacula setup running smooth ...
i got daily tapes mo-fr and an additional backup to HD
nwo i was wondering if there was any way to tell it to skip backup to
tape (e.g. the jobs for it) on a certain day so it gives no error
messages when i got a day off or there is a vacation and noone is here
to change the tape every day ?
i searched the documentation but didn't find anything of that sort.
since my backup got so large (or the old tape is too small ^^) there
won't even fit 2 days on a tape ...
Of course, you can manually change the schedules. That's no fun once
you've got more than one job...
What I do for the jobs that require manual intervention:
They get a (Client) Run Before Job script that checks for a certain file
and, if that file exists, the script exists with a useful message and a
return code of 1. Or it exits with error when the file doesn't exist.
For example, I have one such "Flag" file called backupmail which, when
it's not there, prevents mail backups.
You have to set this up only once, if you want to, you can easily create
a web frontend for simple administration, but if you've got other run
before scripts you need a wrapper around all of them.
I expect that python integration will allow much more sophisticated options.
