[BackupPC-users] Need help creating a new module or any way to incorporate
Hi all! I need to edit the source to get backuppc to do a few new things. I would like to add a button (4 really) to be able to do certain commands. For example, one of the buttons would do 'dd if=XXX of=XXX' another would do 'VBoxManage blahblah' so on and so forth. I understand that these are binaries in linux, but that is perfectly fine. I can use and do all the commands just fine, I just want to be able to click a button and have it do what I want for that specific host. Like when I click the DD button, it will save that hosts Bootsector info. I already have my GitHub setup and will reflect any changes ofc (opensource FTW :D ) +-- |This was sent by tilde1...@gmail.com via Backup Central. |Forward SPAM to ab...@backupcentral.com. +-- -- Everyone hates slow websites.

I can't help much with code changes, but note that you already have
the option to run custom commands on the targets with the
$Conf{DumpPreUserCmd} = undef;
$Conf{DumpPostUserCmd} = undef;
$Conf{DumpPreShareCmd} = undef;
$Conf{DumpPostShareCmd} = undef;
$Conf{RestorePreUserCmd} = undef;
$Conf{RestorePostUserCmd} = undef;
$Conf{ArchivePreUserCmd} = undef;
$Conf{ArchivePostUserCmd} = undef;
options. You don't get a push button, but they run at the appropriate
time relative to the operation.

yea i know abotu the post and pre commands... i actually use them to turn on the rsync daemon on windows, and snapshot... the problem is, the commands that i need cannot be run on every backup... IE, one of the commands would make a virtualizable VHD, and another will convert that VHD to VMDK for vmware. So just having the button would be the solution, seeing as how virtualizing and converting take quite some time and space, and I will be backing up systems every hour on the hour. im working on a complete disaster recovery and business continuity solution... i have the actual project completed, i just need to incorporate all the pieces into BPC (as it is the main backbone) +-- |This was sent by tilde1...@gmail.com via Backup Central. |Forward SPAM to ab...@backupcentral.com. +-- -- Everyone hates slow websites.

It has most of the pieces (for Linux) that backuppc is missing, particularly dealing with bare-metal recovery. I think it could be integrated with backuppc fairly easily but haven't had time to do it myself. -- Les Mikesell lesmikes...@gmail.com -- Everyone hates slow websites. So do we.

It should be trivial to do a backuppc restore from that point - and moderately hard to reproduce what it does. What I'd like to see is a minor change to build a directory of the iso's contents where backuppc could include it instead of pre-creating the iso image. That way you could have a large number of them with files that would pool nicely on the backuppc server. As a tradeoff you'd have to download the contents and rebuild the iso at restore time, but you'd always be able to build the matching one for any backup. -- Les Mikesell lesmikes...@gmail.com -- Everyone hates slow websites.
