Hi all, I've got a fairly simple single computer setup, it backs up about 7.5GB of data to a DDS-3 tape on the first Sunday of each month. For the rest of the month it does nothing but incrementals (plus full backup of the catalog) every night, amounting to less than 2GB a month. That leaves 2.5GB of blank space at the end of the tape, which I don't mind wasting, so rather than try to do a full backup on that nearly-full tape, waking up to find Bacula complaining to me about running out of room, and having to span the full backup over two tapes, I just remove that tape and mount the oldest volume from the pool so the full backup can start on a fresh tape. That's all well and good, but I'd really prefer it if Bacula would do the ejecting for me so that a) I don't have to load up the console to do it, and b) there's a tape hanging out of the front of the computer that reminds me I need to change tapes. So ideally on the Saturday before the first Sunday of a month (which could be the 1st, 4th or 5th Saturday of the month) the tape would be ejected as soon as the incremental and catalog backups were finished. So, to my question:
Is there any way to schedule something to happen at "sat before 1st sun at 1:15" or "1 days before 1st sun at 1:15" or "1st sun at 1:15 minus 24 hours" etc.? Thanks, Ed. ------------------------------------------------------- This SF.net email is sponsored by: Splunk Inc. Do you grep through log files for problems? Stop!
