Re: [BackupPC-users] Feature Request: Link to latest Full
My solution for the moment is to do the following:
--- DumpPostUserCmd ---
/usr/local/bin/link-full-backup.sh $host
--- end ---
--- file named link-full-backup.sh ---
#!/bin/bash
HOST=${1}
TOPDIR="/array/backuppc-01/pc"
if [ -d ${TOPDIR}/${HOST} ] ; then
cd ${TOPDIR}/${HOST}
ln -sfT $(cat backups | grep full \
| tail -1 | awk '{ print $1 }') last-full
fi
--- end ---
Curious what is the largest installation of BackupPC, anyone know?

[BackupPC-users] Feature Request: Link to latest Full
How difficult would it be to have BackupPC create a link to the last
Full backup. The reason this would be handy to me is I'm required to
backup to tape to a system I don't have much control over. I just want
to tell the backup service a simple directorie to grab. I would like to
be able to tell them to backup
$Conf{TopDir}/pc/example.com/last-full
Which would link to $Conf{TopDir}/pc/example.com/95 if that was the last
Full backup.
I hope to never uses there backup service to do a restore but for off
site backup compliance I need to. I'm trying to save some bandwidth by
not backing up everything I don't need. (I have over 240 clients and
about 7T used under $Conf{TopDir} getting that off site has been a huge
issue)
I may be able to just do it with $DumpPostUserCmd but I haven't tested
that yet. I just think it would be nicer to have it as a built in option.
/bin/ln -sf $topDir/pc/$host/$(/bin/cat $topDir/pc/$host/backups \
| /bin/grep full | /bin/sort -n | /usr/bin/tail -1 \
| /bin/awk '{ print $1 }') $topDir/pc/$host/last-full
