Hihi, my script is much simpler.

But then I use pre- and post-archive scripts to:
pre archive:
  - Attach the iscsi
  - Create the mountpoint in /tmp
  - Mount the iscsi (via its link in /dev/disk/by-path)
  - Delete all old archives older then 30days
  - output "df" of the device for the backuppc log
after archive:
  - output "df" again for the logs
  - umount the iscsi
  - delete the mountpoint
  - detach the iscsi

The scripts are in /var/lib/backuppc/bin, so they are present on both 
the cluster machines. Yes, my backuppc runs as (one of many) service on 
a two-node pacemaker-cluster with shared config for the 
backuppc+apache-stack on a small drbd and /var/lib/backuppc on a bigger 
drbd...

Have fun,

Arnold
