Backup Central

Hello to all:

I am trying to execute backuppc_dump within the archive sequence.

I set the ArchivePreUserCmd to call the backuppc_dump script but I am getting in the archive log that the dump is ‘Nothing to do’.

I am attaching my BackupPC relevant configuration files for inspection.

Executing the archive within the Backup, it archives the previous backup instead of the current backup, so calling the backup within the archive should backup the last backup instead of the previous.

I need the backuppc_dump to decide which backup type (Full, Incr) to do based on the configuration, that is why I set
ArchivePreUserCmd = “/usr/share/backuppc/bin/BackupPC_dump conecosrv1” and did not used any option.

I am using BackupPC version 3.1.0

Why is ‘Nothing to do’?

In case you also need this files. Backups at the moment of the archive run and the archive log
