We use dumpPreUserCmd to run database dumps, then backup the
resulting files. Some of these dumps take a *really* long time.
The annoying part is that the logs don't show the *actual* start
time of the backups (that is, the time when the dumpPreUserCmd is
started), they only show the "start" of the part after that, the
backup of the actual files, so you get lovely discrepencies like
this:
2011-08-19 09:25:22 incr backup started back to 2011-08-15 00:15:45 (backup
#378) for directory /
2011-08-19 10:01:46 incr backup 379 complete, 11 files, 3205841445 bytes, 0
xferErrs (0 bad files, 0 bad shares, 0 other)
2011-08-20 18:10:23 full backup started for directory / (baseline backup #379)
2011-08-20 18:46:34 full backup 380 complete, 12 files, 3285062302 bytes, 0
xferErrs (0 bad files, 0 bad shares, 0 other)
vs. this:
Backup# Type Filled Level Start Date Duration/mins Age/days
Server Backup Path
[snip]
380 full yes 0 8/19 10:01 1964.7 2.3
/backups/pc/[snip]
The reason it says the full started at "8/19 10:01" is because it
was queued on the BgQueue and started running th dumpPreUserCmd
immediately after the incremental finished. But the logs don't show
that at all, they say it "started" at "2011-08-20 18:10:23" (which
is, what, 32 hours later?).
I would very much like if the logs included both the very start and
the start of the actual transfer.
Thanks.
