Filebucket

[Tom Tucker]

Hello. I have a file bucket question.  I believe I have file bucket configured correctly.  I am able to backup a change file and restore it  My question is how do get a list of files for a particular host or revisions for a particular file.

Thanks

Hi Tom,

The filebucket takes a MD5 sum of each file and stores it based on that.
Only file contents and path are part of the backup, not the host(s) that
it came from. If you want to want to correlate files in the filebucket
with your hosts, you will need to consult the logs from the puppet agent.

The filebucket is not a replacement for a backup system and is more a
safety mechanism if you change something and want to see the old file
and possibly restore it. If you are adhering to good change management
processes, you will likely never use the thing at all.

Best regards,
