Hi,<br>
<br>
I'm looking at enhancing backups to add two features:<br>
<ol>
<li>skip backups of machines that haven't run since the last
backup</li>
<ol>
<li>Since backups run at least once/week, I'll make the
simplifying assumption that if the most recent backup is older
than one week and we haven't had a VM on during the last week,
that it doesn't need to be backed up</li>
<li><big><big><big><big><big><big><big><font face="Helvetica,
Arial, sans-serif"><span style="color: rgb(51,
51, 51); font-size: 13px; font-style:
normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight:
normal; letter-spacing: normal; line-height:
normal; text-align: left; text-indent: 0px;
text-transform: none; white-space: normal;
word-spacing: 0px; background-color:
rgb(250, 250, 250); display: inline !
important; float: none;"></span></font></big></big></big></big></big></big></big>It
looks like the start/stop activity can be found in
/var/log/syslog, /var/log/daemon.log and
/var/log/pve/tasks/index. What are the
advantages/disadvantages of using each of these log files?</li>
</ol>
<li>allow backup job descriptions to rotate across multiple
storages (e.g. backup to three NFS servers and always replace
the oldest backup)</li>
</ol>
<p>I'd appreciate knowing if any of this work has already been done
and of course any thoughts/suggestions that you might have!<br>
</p>
