[BackupPC-users] PostDumpCmd failure?

[David M. <ni...@sl...>]

Looking at the XferLog of a recent backup, I see it running the
PostDumpCmd twice (or two entries for it running once).  Twice would make
sense, since that command is supposed to start a service, and the service
would already be up after the first attempt.  It seems that the first
attempt timed out, and the seccond attempt failed.

Big deal.  I can live with that.  Only now the backup has "failed" and
backuppc threw the whole thing away.  All files copied successfully, so
the only place I can possibly imagine it failing is that PostDumpCmd.  I
definitely want to see something in the log, and perhaps an email sent to
me (a pager paged?) if this command fails.  But I don't want the entire
backup thrown away and the command possibly STILL not succeeding as a
result.

Thoughts?
