this was what I was looking for! Below for the curious or google's hunger.
I've tested it and it works as it should. I've added a level=Incremental to
it.
+ echo 'run job=Backup-vmid.xenvms.de level=Incremental yes
wait job=Backup-vmid.xenvms.de'
+ bconsole
Connecting to Director xx:9101
1000 OK: xx-dir Version: 5.0.3 (30 August 2010)
Enter a period to cancel a command.
run job=Backup-vmid.xenvms.de level=Incremental yes
Using Catalog "MyCatalog"
Job queued. JobId=7206
You have messages.
wait job=Backup-vmid.xenvms.de
JobId=7206
JobStatus=OK (T)
Now i'm thinking about how to safely wrap around it - I need to respect the
jobs status.
- if it didn't back up successful then my batch should abort, so I need to
squeeze some return code from it.
I think I'll go the really easy way now by screenscraping the JobStatus=OK
from here.
Nothing wrong about it since I'd rather abort on any unexpected situation.
So the question ends with:
echo 'run job=Backup-vmid.xenvms.de level=Incremental yes
wait job=Backup-vmid.xenvms.de' | bconsole | grep 'JobStatus=OK'
Anything goes wrong, I get an according error from the grep.
I thought about skipping the backup if it's not needed, i.e. because the
last ran 2 hours ago.
That part i'll not bother with for now :)
(If you're really picky you'll see I've not yet split out the OS level
backups, thats the really hard part still ;)
Many thanks & Greetings to Stuttgart,
Florian
