Hi All, I used to use Bacula years ago and am now back at a project that uses it. Is nice to be back :)
We use Bacula to backup a series of MySQL databases to disk (with eventual offline storage elsewhere). Part of the requirement is to offer some automated testing of the data (ie backup live data, restore to alternative system, re-insert data into a separate integration database, run some known commands, etc). All of this is pretty simple stuff, however was thinking whether I could integrate this somewhat, by using a separate Verify Job followed by a *Run after Job* script. This script could then use Python and the Bacula-Python hooks to run a restore job and then the rest of the required tests. However, have not used the Bacula-Python side of things before and after hunting about, the only docs I have found are the *Python Scripting* chapter in the concepts and dev-manual. Is this the only source of docs for the Bacula-Python API??? Main reason for this is, although am happy hacking about, and will have a look at the source, am just checking this is all feasible at the present time, before I start spending/wasting time on the effort. Oh and of course, if someone has attempted this all before and are willing to give some hints/tips/caveats, much appreciated :) Thanks Dan -- Dan Hawker Linux Consultant ext-daniel.haw...@nokia.com +44 (0)7827 352612 -- ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Let Crystal Reports handle the reporting - Free Crystal Reports 2008 30-Day trial.
