[BackupPC-users] Blackout certain days completely?
Ive tried a few different things, and still I cannot figure out how to blackout an entire day.. For example if I want the backups to only run on Saturday between 8PM and midnight.. How would I accomplish that? Thanks Dave - Take Surveys. Earn Cash.

Re: [BackupPC-users] find command with backuppc
I've already been down this road, unfortunately. It's not scenic. You can do something with predump to do "find . -iname *.doc /tmp/filelist" and then modify your tar command to use tar -T /tmp/filelist. Be warned, this totally messes up backuppc's notions of how incrementals work, and how the cgi interface "fills-in" incrementals. From what I have learned, you really are not supposed to circumvent the way backuppc crawls the filesystem. You give it paths to crawl, and exclude/include patterns, and that's it. Actually, forget predump-- can't you backup all word documents with an include filter? rsync --include=PATTERN Sorry for the rambling.. brien nilesh vaghela wrote: Can we run some extra command before starting the backup??

You can do something like this.
$Conf{BlackoutPeriods} = [
{
hourBegin = 0.0,
hourEnd = 23.5,
weekDays = [0,1, 2, 3, 4, 5],
},
{
hourBegin = 0.0,
hourEnd = 19.5,
weekDays = [6],
},
];
But its also important to set.
**$Conf{BlackoutGoodCnt} = 0;
so that blackout values are enforced. This is documented in the config.pl.
if your.. $Conf{WakeupSchedule} = [1..23];# every hour
except midnight
(which would be the default value)
...then..
the above blackout period should do what you are after. Backups should
only kick in on Saturday at either 8pm, 9pm, 10om or 11pm when backups
will attempt to be run if necessary via WakeupSchedule.
make sure you restart backuppc after making the changes.

Les
