I've got BackupPC running on a somewhat low spec server, but it's running fine
for the 60 or so PCs we've got in use. In fact, it's saved the day on numerous
occasions. The system specs are just good enough to fully support all the
usual BackupPC functions.
Issue: I want to use ClamAV to scan for viruses.
Problem: The server/hdds just aren't fast enough to complete the scan before
the next wave of backups starts, even if I block off several hours (10 pm - 7
am) to do the virus scan. BackupPC's pooling and compression, which works
fine, taxes the server too much with the virus scan running and that kicks in
around midnight or so regardless.
I had started a virus scan overnight and it's still trying to run this morning.
Pooling and compression is also still trying to run as well, whereas
pooling/compression would usually be done by 1 a.m. or so without the virus
scan running.
Question: Is there a way to tell BackupPC to take the day off? That way I
could run ClamAV without BackupPC doing backups, pooling, or compression, at
the same time and complete the virus scan without interfering with the normal
BackupPC functions.
I see where you can easily tell it what hours of the day to wake up, but is
there an option where you can tell BackupPC what day(s) of the week to wake up
on? I'd like to take Sunday, for example, for BackupPC to cease its usual
functions (including pooling/compression) while I run a scan via crontab/script.
Otherwise standard, out of the box configuration for BackupPC - nothing fancy
going on, and about 60 client PCs.
Any ideas?
