Hi there.
I added a laptop client to my bareos setup and everything runs mostly
fine except for the fact that if the job is scheduled for - let's say -
9pm, it tries to run, tries to connect to fd and since the laptop is
down, the job fails.
I was wondering how I can avoid those failed jobs and possibly have
bareos server wait for a client to appear.
I pondered two options:
1) Have completely manual "schedule", so the job never runs on its own.
I need to manually run the job every time I have a laptop available in
my network. But I'm not sure I can specify a schedule which never runs
on its own. Is it even possible? Or
2) Have bareos server wait for the fd to appear on the network. Now
that's trickier. I thought about writing a script and running it as a
pre-job script effectively delaying start of the job itself until I can
reach the fd but:
a) I'm not sure if the pre-job script is run before the initial
connection to fd or after. (haven't tried it yet; just thought about it
today driving to work :-)) and
b) If I understand correctly, such job with a pre-job script would
effectively block other jobs from running in the same time, right? So if
I have a schedule for all jobs to start at 9pm, then other jobs (for now
let's not complicate matters with priorities) would wait for my script
to time-out with the Max Run Time limit?
Any other ideas?
What I would ideally want to achieve is to have bareos do a backup of my
laptop when it gets available on the network (when I come back home and
power on the laptop) but of course not more than once a day.
Of course I can (and probably will if there are no other options) do an
external script which probes the network for the laptop and if found
runs the apropriate job but I was wondering if I can do something like
that "from within" bareos.
Regards,
MK
