How to run a script before and after the job?

[Goncalo Sousa]

Hello guys,

I recently started working with BareOS. I want to know how do I run a script before and after the job.

Thanks in advance

You are looking for Run Script in the Job directive

https://docs.bareos.org/Configuration/Director.html#config-Dir_Job_RunScript

There are some shortcut versions also. Often the catalog backup job that comes with Bareos out the box includes an example of this to run a script to dump the database. Not sure if that’s still the case.

Hi Goncalo,

If you use https://docs.bareos.org/Configuration/Director.html#config-Dir_Job_RunAfterJob and specify "Runs On Client = Yes" then the script needs to be present on the client you are backing up. If "Runs On Client = No" then the script needs to be present on the director to run.

You can also use https://docs.bareos.org/Configuration/Director.html#config-Dir_Job_ClientRunAfterJob which is the same as a "RunAfterJob" with "Runs On Client = Yes".

Thanks. But in which file?

[Andrei Brezan]

It's in your job definition, so wherever you define the job. It can be in separate files under bareos-dir.d/job or have all the jobs in one file, it really depends on the config structure you have under /etc/bareos on linux or /usr/local/etc/bareos under BSD. Just look for the job definitions that you have there.
