Hi,
I agree to the opinions of Javier, Robert and - of course - Johan.
Not 24/7, changing the disks to backup on... for that, run-rsnapshot
seems to be best. I like the good rotation from hourly to daily,
weekly and so on. Worked here well, over the last years.
Before, I started a similar try in python for doing that. That's kinda
tricky... very well done, thanks a lot!
What's missing:
sync_first 1
as 0 is dangerous... so I'd suggest the following patches (never
before I did something in ruby, so check carefully - it seems to
work, but I am not sure):
+ add this function at the beginning:
# Find the sync_first setting from /etc/rsnapshot.conf
def sync_first
File.new(RSNAPSHOT_CONF).each_line do |line|
line.chomp!
if line =~ /^sync_first\s+1$/
return 1
end
end
return 0
end
+ changed the following function
+ - asks for sync_first, than "sync" before "hourly"
+ - maybe /usr/bin/ should be added before each command
+ - ionice added
# This is the program's main piece of code
def run_rsnapshot
# Set up the intervals
[...]
if update_interval
# Launch rsnapshot with the given interval
if update_interval.name == "hourly" and sync_first == 1
system("nice ionice rsnapshot sync && nice ionice rsnapshot
#{update_interval.name}")
else
system("nice ionice rsnapshot #{update_interval.name}")
end
return $?.exitstatus
else
return 0
end
end
