[Bacula-users] Full/Differential with one job
With most of my jobs, Bacula handles the Full on an off day if required based on the previous status of the backup in the pool. So I have one job, and the schedule determines when the Full/Diff is done. I am trying to accomplish the same thing with my exchange backup which uses a RunBefore script to dump the db's to a NTBackup file. How can I pass variables, or expand variables in the command based on what Bacula determines it wants to do? Is that possible? The manual states variable expansion is for Volume Labels only, so I am at a loss for a way to manage this in one place versus choosing what to do on the exchange server.

Really? Where does it say that, exactly? I looked at what I believe in the relevant section of the manual, and I came away with a completely different understanding. In the middle of general Functionality of http://www.bacula.org/en/dev-manual/Variable_Expansion.html But, now that I read it only says When using not only for. Problem is I can't make it work for anything else:) Thanks! jlc -- Let Crystal Reports handle the reporting - Free Crystal Reports 2008 30-Day trial.

Problem is I can't make it work for anything else:) OK, I see the problem. Variable Expansion is a concept used mostly (exclusively?) by the LabelFormat directive inside Pool resource definitions: http://bacula.org/3.0.x-manuals/en/install/install/Configuring_Director.html#SECTION00615 Unfortunately, this is more or less irrelevant to what you're doing. You need to be looking at the section of the manual that details the Job resource, specifically the RunScript directive: http://bacula.org/3.0.x-manuals/en/install/install/Configuring_Director.html#SECTION0063 - Cedric -- Let Crystal Reports handle the reporting - Free Crystal Reports 2008 30-Day trial.

I guess I could simply use %l = Job Level in the file name to call what I need, this way when bacula wants a Full versus Diff, it will tell my script so. I guess I dismissed those variables to quickly when reading! Thanks, jlc -- Let Crystal Reports handle the reporting - Free Crystal Reports 2008 30-Day trial.
