Hi Tormod,
Well here's my crude attempt which works if you're only backing up one
host. For more than one you'll need to hack it again:
#!/bin/sh
TODAY=`/bin/date +%Y-%m-%d_%H:%M`
admin="[EMAIL PROTECTED]"
# Check if backup just done was a full (only send fulls to tape)
lastbackup=`/bin/grep started /opt/backuppc/files/pc/server1/LOG |
/usr/bin/tail
-1 | awk '{print $3}'`
if [ $lastbackup = "incr" ] ; then
echo "last was incr"
exit 0
else
echo "last was full"
# Check tape is in drive
TAPE=`/bin/mt -f /dev/st0 status | /bin/grep ONLINE`
#echo $?
if [ "$?" = "1" ] ; then
/bin/mail -s "Tape archive failed - no tape detected in
drive" $admin < /opt/backuppc/files/conf/no_tape_message.txt
exit 0
fi
# Delete old image and create new one
rm /tmp/Burn/*
/usr/share/backuppc/bin/BackupPC_tarCreate -h server1 -n -1 -s /
/ | /bin/gzip -3 > /tmp/Burn/Server1-$TODAY.tar.gz
# Check image size is less than 20GB (tape size) - not working yet
#IMGSIZE=`ls -l /tmp/Burn/Server1-$TODAY.tar.gz | awk '{print $5}'`
#imgsize=`ls -l /tmp/Burn/Serv* | awk '{print $5}'`
#tapesize=19500000000 # 20GB Travan Tape
# echo "Tape size is $tapesize and Image size is $imgsize"
# if [ $imgsize -gt $tapesize ] ; then
# /bin/mail -s "Tape archive failed - not enough tape
space for image" $admin < /dev/null
# exit 0
# fi
# Copy image to tape and eject tape
/bin/tar cf /dev/st0 /tmp/Burn/*
/bin/mt -f /dev/st0 rewoffl
/bin/mail -s "Tape archive created - please change the
Tape" $admin < /dev/null
fi
=======================================
And to go with it, here's a sample no_tape_message.txt file:
The full backup archive to tape could not be completed because no tape
was detected in the tape drive.
Please load a blank tape into the drive and run the following script as
the user backuppc:
/opt/backuppc/files/conf/cwpfulltapearchive.sh
Thankyou
=======================================
At least it's somewhere to start. There must be loads of people with
better scripts. Anyone want to post them ?

Hi Tormod,
You could add a post-backup script to do it. I created a very rough script which
runs an archive to tape straight after a full backup completes. It ignores
incrementals.
I'll post it when I get home and you could hack it around.

Quoting Tormod Omholt-Jensen <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>:
I would like to set ut backuppc to automatically dump an archive of the
latest backup, once a day. I can not find anything about this in the
documentation.
Doesn't backuppc support this?
I considered setting up a cron-job invoking the BackupPC_archiveHost
script, but I cannot find any description on the parameters to use.
Anyone having ideas on how to solve this?
