[BackupPC-users] BUGS in Lib.pm with CORRECTION

2011-08-01 Thread Jeffrey J. Kosowsky
Lib.pm has a bug that appears twice: The 2 occurrences of: $cmd = join(" ", $cmd) if ( ref($cmd) eq "ARRAY" ); should be replaced by: $cmd = join(" ", @$cmd) if ( ref($cmd) eq "ARRAY" ); Otherwise you are joining array refs rather than arrays which is meaningless/error. Also, I would sugg

[BackupPC-users] Running command before and after tar command

2011-08-01 Thread Rory Toma
How do I specify a command to run before I execute my backup (in this case tar). I need to rsh to a specific machine and create a snapshot before I backup. I tried: $Conf{TarClientCmd} = 'rsh -n mothership snap create data backuppc; $tarPath --totals -c -v -f - -C $shareName/.snapshot/backuppc

On a side note, when I hand edit the client config, it seems that I have to restart BackupPC to re-read the config file. Is there another way to do this? I did not try a HUP. On 8/1/11 2:47 PM, Rory Toma wrote: > I ended up having to overwrite the tar command in my client config: > > $Conf{TarCl

I ended up having to overwrite the tar command in my client config: $Conf{TarClientCmd} = '$tarPath --totals -c -v -f - -C $shareName'; Let me say, the default command threw me for some time: #$Conf{TarClientCmd} = '$tarPath -c -v -f - -C /mnt/$host/$shareName' #. '
