Hello, I use this line in crontab to enforce full backup on weekends: 55 19 * * 5 backuppc /usr/share/backuppc/bin/BackupPC_serverMesg backup HOSTIP HOST USER 1 I usually put the time to run at 5 minutes before the end of blackout period to ensure that it will start earlier than normal backup run. Also I put FQDN for both HOST and HOSTIP. Number 1 at the end means full backup (0 would be incremental). -- Best Regards Vladislav Kurz -- Check out the vibrant tech community on one of the world's most engaging tech sites, Slashdot.org! http://sdm.link/slashdot ___ BackupPC-users mailing list BackupPC-users@lists.sourceforge.net List:https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/backuppc-users Wiki:http://backuppc.wiki.sourceforge.net Project: http://backuppc.sourceforge.net/

Hi Xuo, you could connect home using VPN. If configured properly, you may even get the same internal IP as when you are at home. Or, you could set up some internal DNS at home, that will return two A records for your computer - both home and work IP addresses. Backuppc (Or any other software) will then try both of them to connect. -- Best Regards Vladislav Kurz -- Check out the vibrant tech community on one of the world's most engaging tech sites, Slashdot.org! http://sdm.link/slashdot ___ BackupPC-users mailing list BackupPC-users@lists.sourceforge.net List:https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/backuppc-users Wiki:http://backuppc.wiki.sourceforge.net Project: http://backuppc.sourceforge.net/

Hello, I have many systems, and most of them are older then systemd (so using classic init). And on those that do, I'm sometimes pulling my hair out because of systemd. But I do not want to rant about systemd here. I know I have to learn new things all my life. > If you prepend the command in the service file with a hyphen the unit > will exit cleanly even if the command failed... > > ExecStart=-/command/to/run This is not exactly what I want. I can ignore the failure by setting backuppc: UserCmdCheckStatus=0 What I want is to get any output of the script by mail. Whether it fails or not. I thought it would be more elegant if this could be done by backuppc itself than adding something like "2>&1 | mail root" to all predump scripts. -- S pozdravem Vladislav Kurz Centrála: Celní 17/5, 63900 Brno, CZ Web: http://www.webstep.net E-Mail: podp...@webstep.net Tel: 840 840 700, +420 548 214 711 Obchodní podmínky: https://zkrat.to/op -- Check out the vibrant tech community on one of the world's most engaging tech sites, Slashdot.org! http://sdm.link/slashdot ___ BackupPC-users mailing list BackupPC-users@lists.sourceforge.net List:https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/backuppc-users Wiki:http://backuppc.wiki.sourceforge.net Project: http://backuppc.sourceforge.net/
[BackupPC-users] Sending output of DumpPreUserCmd by email
Hello all, First of all big thanks to all developers of BackupPC, it is really a very nice and useful backup tool. I use DumpPreUserCmd (and similar options) to run mysqldump, or make snapshots of filesystems before backup. I would like to have the output of these mailed to me instead of being just logged. I know that there is UserCmdCheckStatus, but that only makes the whole backup fail, which is not always what I want. If mysql dump fails, I want the backup to run anyway, and backup at least the rest of the filesystem, but I want to be notified that something went wrong. I think of the same behavior as with cron: send mail if there is any output (stdout or stderr), or if the command fails (exit code != 0). Is that possible now? If not could this be impemented in future versions? -- Best Regards Vladislav Kurz -- Check out the vibrant tech community on one of the world's most engaging tech sites, Slashdot.org! http://sdm.link/slashdot ___ BackupPC-users mailing list BackupPC-users@lists.sourceforge.net List:https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/backuppc-users Wiki:http://backuppc.wiki.sourceforge.net Project: http://backuppc.sourceforge.net/
