Hello community,
I'm just first time starter with Amanda.
Due to machine limitation (kernel and software) we can't use the last vers 2.6.1
So we installed 2.5.1 works like a charm but now first operational problem:
We must issue prearhive command like "rcapplication stop". After 2 days read of wiki and howtos I managed to write script but there are many errors after amcheck config.
My question is: Is it possible to use pre/post script in 2.5.1 anyhow?
If not - is it some workarrounds or we must use console scripts like
Code:
#bash
rcapp stop
su - amandabackup -c "amdump config"
rcapp start
Thanks in adv for any opinion.
You don't need to wrap the entire backup inside the stop and start of
your other application.
See
http://wiki.zmanda.com/index.php/Backup_client#pre_and_post-_backup_scripts_.28wrappers.29
for how it can be done with Amanda 2.5.1. It still involves messing with
the shell scripts, but you can have it so that it is specific to the
individual client dumps. It all depends on your needs and what the
application is that you are stopping and starting. Certainly, the script
you show above is simple, and it could just be called from cron in place
of calling amdump from cron. But the wiki explains how you can have a
bit more detailed control.
