There is a backup facility, though it's probably not want you want in this case. Currently it's not highly instrumented for combing through backups and finding what you want to look at, and stores things named after md5sums. http://docs.reductivelabs.com/guides/types/file.html You could use Puppet to execute something like rdiff-backup ? > > > > Another, unrelated, question I have is regarding tags.

Tags are really not about classes, tags are a seperate concept. --tags means "run resources tagged with this value". Puppetrun is due for some upgrades -- though these are going to wait a bit in priority behind some other things, as we're doing a lot of improvements to the way the internals of the catalog/etc behave and want to make a puppetrun that works well with multiple sources of node information, rather than just LDAP, which it does now. > > > > -- > You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups > "Puppet Users" group. > To post to this group, send email to puppet-us...@googlegroups.com. > To unsubscribe from this group, send email to > puppet-users+unsubscr...@googlegroups.com. > For more options, visit this group at > http://groups.google.com/group/puppet-users?hl=en. > -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Puppet Users" group.
