Re: [Bacula-users] [Bacula-devel] Python in bacula 7

I think I'm going to revert to bacula 5 for now. Anyone know why python was dropped?

Thanks for your reply Ana

I guess that could work if I required a single Volume but I limit my volume sizes to 1GB (files) for operational reasons and typically require multiple volumes but I don't know in advance how many. I suppose I could create multiple volumes in advance and after delete any unused.

I always ensure that there volumes are automatically allocated as required and are never reused between jobs. Thee first one is allocated when the job starts and others as each becomes full. The content of the backup can vary according to some run before scripts and I would like the volume names to reflect that.

It was easy to do this with python scripting but we are in the process of upgrading to bacula 7 where that isn't supported.

Hi Steve,

Maybe a shell script in a RunBeforeJob directive? You can test with "list nextvol" if there is an available volume and if not instruct Bacula to label one (and the label you can create it for your own in your shell script).

Could you be more specific about "allocate volume names at run time"? Should they be allocated before the job starts running or during a the job runs in the case it needs a volume and cannot find any available?

Best regards,

Ana

OK - I found in the release notes for 7.0.0
The following features or directives have been removed:
- Win32
- tray-monitor
- wx_console
- Removed cats DBI driver
- Python
So I assume this means python scripting is no longer supported.

If this is the case is there an alternative mechanism for dynamically set volume names?

Label Format doesn't quite do it because it is limited to specific bacula variables or environment variables set during director startup and I need to allocate volume names at run time.

Thanks

Steve

HI

Does anyone know whether python scripting is supported in 7.0.5?
I could see that --with-python is no longer a valid configuration option.
