Hello, list!
I have two jobs that back up a dump from a DB, one PostgreSQL DB and one
OpenLDAP directory. In both cases, I try to backup using the 'dump to FIFO'
method that is described in
<http://wiki.bacula.org/doku.php?id=application_specific_backups:postgresql>.
But instead of reading from the FIFO, Bareos copies the FIFO itself (having a
size of 0 bytes). I have "ReadFIFO = yes" in the respective job definitions.
the director runs Bareos 16.2.4, the clients in question 15.2.2.
What do I need to do so that Bareos actually reads the FIFO and stores the
output of the process writing to the FIFO instead of copying the FIFO as a FIFO?
Here is one of the job definitions:
---%<---
Job {
Name = "OpenLDAP"
JobDefs = "Yearly-Job-Defaults"
Enabled = yes
Client = "galathea-fd"
FileSet = "OpenLDAP Database"
RunScript {
RunsWhen = Before
Command = "/root/bin/ldap-backup-pre.sh"
}
RunScript {
RunsWhen = After
Command = "/root/bin/ldap-backup-post.sh"
}
Level = Full
}
--->%---
and here the pre-backup script I'm using:
---%<---
#!/bin/sh
set -e
set -o pipefail
set -x
DATE=$(date +"%Y-%m-%d")
LDAPDB_FIFO="/var/lib/ldap/ldapdb-$(hostname)-${DATE}.ldif"
orig_umask=$(umask)
cleanup()
{
umask "$orig_umask"
rm -f "$LDAPDB_FIFO"
}
trap "cleanup" ERR TERM KILL
mkfifo "$LDAPDB_FIFO"
slapcat -l "$LDAPDB_FIFO" > /dev/null 2>&1 &
umask "$orig_umask"
--->%---
Thanks alot in advance. Any hint is appreciated.
