Hello Germar,
I'm confused by the email notification I just received: what does
"milestone none" mean?
I just got bitten by this bug again: for some reason, the backintime
backup directory had ended up with wrong permissions (555 or 550, I
don't remember exactly - no idea how it happened: nothing that I'm aware
of having done), so every backup silently failed for about 3 weeks until
I happened to check.
I've now written the following crude user-callback script to work around
the problem; there is surely a better solution to this problem!
Julian
#! /bin/bash
if [ -z "$USER" ]; then USER=root; fi
if [ $3 = 4 ] # error
then
message="Backintime died with the following error information:
Profile id = $1
Profile name = $2
Error code = $4
Error message = $5
Just letting you know..."
echo $message | mail -s "BACKINTIME FAILED" $USER
fi
if [ $3 = 2 ] # "Backup process ends" - this may work!
then
dircount=$(ls -d /media/JG-BACKUP/${USER}/backintime/erdos/${USER}/1/`date
' +%Y%m%d'`* 2>/dev/null | wc -l)
if [ $dircount -eq 0 ]
then
message="WARNING: Backintime finished, but no directory appears to have
been created:
Profile id = $1
Profile name = $2
Just letting you know..."
echo $message | mail -s "BACKINTIME PROBABLY FAILED" $USER
else
dirs=$(ls -d -1
/media/JG-BACKUP/${USER}/backintime/erdos/${USER}/1/`date '+%Y%m%d'`*
2>/dev/null)
message="Backintime finished, and a directory appears to have been
created:
Profile id = $1
Profile name = $2
Directory = $dirs
Just letting you know..."
echo $message | mail -s "BACKINTIME finished" $USER
fi
fi
exit 0
