[BackupPC-users] Nightly script trigger?
Is there a way (other than editing the code) to trigger a script after BackupPC_Nightly finishes? We are setting up an off-site copy of our pool and I'd like to trigger this right after the Nightly script finishes. I can just set up a cronjob for a time that all of the backups are likely to be finished, but having BackupPC do it automatically would be nice. --Tod -- Download new Adobe(R) Flash(R) Builder(TM) 4 The new Adobe(R) Flex(R) 4 and Flash(R) Builder(TM) 4 (formerly Flex(R) Builder(TM)) enable the development of rich applications that run across multiple browsers and platforms.

In addition I've added: - remove XferLOG.[.z] together with backup - --remove will remove a host from the /etc/backuppc/hosts as well as all of his backups - (today) look for /etc/BackupPC as well as for /etc/backuppc All the rest from a diff should be cosmetics or changes which implemented not from me. So I would believe you can change the wiki text into: How to delete backups from the archive: Put this script somewhere in your path. It includes usage information when run without arguments. It will remove incremental backups too, if a full backup should be removed where the incrementals based on. The incrementals will also be removed if they are filled. Here is room for improvement :-) FreeBSD if you want to use BackupPC on a FreeBSD system, you have to change the 'stat' calls. Change the two occurencies of the line: BackupTime=`stat -c "%y" $TopDir/pc/$client/$BackupNumber/backupInfo | awk '{print $1}'` into BackupTime=`stat -f "%Sm" -t "%Y-%m-%d" $TopDir/pc/$client/$BackupNumber/backupInfo` br Matthias -- Don't Panic BackupPC_deleteBackup.sh Description: application/shellscript -- Download new Adobe(R) Flash(R) Builder(TM) 4 The new Adobe(R) Flex(R) 4 and Flash(R) Builder(TM) 4 (formerly Flex(R) Builder(TM)) enable the development of rich applications that run across multiple browsers and platforms.
