Hi!

I've installed BackupPC 3.x and it looks like it runs fine  :)
I'm backing up approx. 20 Linux machines.

Some of them needs some special task to performed before the backup
(i.e. database servers).
I haven't figured out how to perform this.

On my old backup scripts I had some scripts on each server which created
a dump of the databases before backup.

I found now some configuration settings
$Conf{DumpPreUserCmd} = undef;
$Conf{DumpPostUserCmd} = undef;
$Conf{DumpPreShareCmd} = undef;
$Conf{DumpPostShareCmd} = undef;

But these look like these commands are executed before _each_ share to
be backed up. But most of my hosts don't need a script to be executed...

Would the solution be to creat a local script which cover special needs
for each hosts like a case $3...statement?

Or is there another idea how to perform database backups?

Greetings

Christian
