[BackupPC-users] Archive "fulls only" to external media

[Damian O'H. <da...@co...>]

Mark Montgomery's archiveme.pl script seems to work fine but I'd like to 
only copy the fulls to CDRW/Tape.

As I don't know perl, here's a shell kludge to show what I'm trying to 
do ....

#!/bin/sh
hosttoarch="jola"
lastbackup=`tail -1 /opt/backuppc/files/pc/$hosttoarch/backups | awk 
'{print $2}'`
        if [ $lastbackup = "incr" ] ; then
                echo "last was incr"
                exit 0
        else
                echo "last was full"
#               Uncomment next 2 lines to write CD
#               mkisofs -R -o /tmp/cdimage.raw 
/opt/backuppc/files/pc/archive/$hosttoarch/*
#               cdrecord -v dev=0,0,0 speed=20 driveropts=burnfree 
/tmp/cdimage.raw

#               Uncomment next 2 lines to write to tape device
#               tar cvf /dev/rst0 
/opt/backuppc/files/pc/archive/$hosttoarch/*
#               rm /opt/backuppc/files/pc/archive/$hosttoarch/*
                mail -s "Weekly archive created - please change CD/Tape" 
bac...@my... < /dev/null
        fi

It could be tagged to start after Mark's script or called at the end of it.
It doesn't cope with multiple CDs/DVDs/Tapes if required but you get the 
idea.
Can anyone with an interest and some perl make any improvements on this ?
If there's an easier way then I'm all ears :)
