Thanks Ryan! Pointing me to the XML is good enough for now. I wish it had the total number of backups stored, but that's ok.
I like the idea of your script copying files to off-site as well. --- Lelio Fulgenzi, B.A. Senior Analyst, Network Infrastructure Computing and Communications Services (CCS) University of Guelph 519-824-4120 Ext 56354 le...@uoguelph.ca www.uoguelph.ca/ccs Room 037, Animal Science and Nutrition Building Guelph, Ontario, N1G 2W1 -----Original Message----- From: Ryan Huff [mailto:ryanh...@outlook.com] Sent: Thursday, June 29, 2017 10:28 AM To: Lelio Fulgenzi Cc: cisco-voip@puck.nether.net Subject: Re: [cisco-voip] um, where'd the scheduled backups go in PLM I have a little CLI and GUI based script that fires via CRON on the SFTP archive (it's a Linux box). It parses the XMLs and extrapolates ctime/mtime from the file attributes. It isn't a "pretty" report by any means but maybe gets close to what you want (number of backups and create/mod times). Also has a little feature to copy every 3rd backup set to a NFS (via Samba) destination as an "offsite" backup. Probably could add SMS/Spark notifications through Tropo/Spark without too much fuss. Its PHP now, but I can refactor into Python, Pearl or Ruby (could probably do it in Bash too) if needed. Just let me know.
