Got it working now!
Your first example would have worked, but I had put double quotes
around the file resource name which was breaking the module. In case
anyone runs into something similar, here's exactly what I used to make
this definition work...
My node definition contains...
$backuppc_db_dumps = {
'redmine' => {
backup_dir => '/var/www/rails/redmine',
databases => 'redmine',
dump_dir => '/backups/redmine-sqldumps',
},
'general' => {
backup_dir => '/etc',
databases => 'mysql',
dump_dir => '/backups/misc-sqldumps',
},
}
backuppc::sqldump { [ 'redmine', 'general' ]:
backup_db => $backuppc_db_dumps,
}
This is the define ...
define backuppc::sqldump ($backup_db) {
file {
$backup_db[$name]['dump_dir']:
ensure => directory,
owner => 'root',
group => 'root',
mode => '0770';
}
}
Thanks Nan for your help!
