Problem with Scheduling Months being ignored

[Ashley]

Hi Guys,

As we are currently using 7 x LTO-6 tapes for a full backup it is beginning to get quote troublesome sending 7 tapes at a time offsite.

I am trying to create and offsite schedule that basically takes a Full backup on the first of Jan and the first of Dec and then does a differential every Saturday. This will mean that I only have to send 7 tapes offsite every 6 months and the rest of the time one or 2 a week.

My Problem is i have defined the schedule as so

Schedule {
Name = "OffsiteCycle"
Run = Full on jun 1 at 07:00
Run = Full on dec 1 at 07:00
Run = Differential 1st sat at 07:05
Run = Differential 2nd sat at 07:05
Run = Differential 3rd sat at 07:05
Run = Differential 4th sat at 07:05
Run = Differential 5th sat at 07:05
}

But when i run show schedule in bconsole i get the following:
as you can see the month is being ignored.

Schedule {
Name = "OffsiteCycle"
run = level=Full 1 at 07:00
run = level=Full 1 at 07:00
run = level=Differential 1st Sat at 07:05
run = level=Differential 2nd Sat at 07:05
run = level=Differential 3rd Sat at 07:05
run = level=Differential 4th Sat at 07:05
run = level=Differential 5th Sat at 07:05
}

Any help would be appreciated.

Regards,

Ashley

you've mixed the day and month order
check
http://doc.bareos.org/master/html/bareos-manual-main-reference.html#x1-1010008.4

Should be
Schedule {
Name = "OffsiteCycle"
Run = Full on 1 jun at 07:00
Run = Full on 1 dec at 07:00
Run = Differential sat at 07:05
}

Read the doc, and practice ...

Then I've a joker question : What happen if the 1st decembre or june is a saturday ?
:-)

Hi Bruno,

Thanks for the reply. I have spent my life in the Bareo¹s Docs over the
last two weeks and already have a fully working configuration.
However I am trying to setup a second backup schedule.

I have also tried various combinations of mixing day month order and the
problem still exists. For example this is what I have now

Schedule {
Name = "OffsiteCycle"
Run = Full on 1st sat jun at 07:00
Run = Full on 1st sat dec at 07:00
Run = Differential 1st sun at 07:05
Run = Differential 2nd sun at 07:05
Run = Differential 3rd sun at 07:05
Run = Differential 4th sun at 07:05
Run = Differential 5th sun at 07:05
}

Show schedules still shows:

Enter a period to cancel a command.
*reload
*show schedules


Schedule {
Name = "OffsiteCycle"
run = level=Full 1st Sat at 07:00
run = level=Full 1st Sat at 07:00
run = level=Differential 1st Sun at 07:05
run = level=Differential 2nd Sun at 07:05
run = level=Differential 3rd Sun at 07:05
run = level=Differential 4th Sun at 07:05
run = level=Differential 5th at 07:05
}



If I set the schedule to:

Schedule {
Name = "OffsiteCycle"
Run = Full on 1st sat jun at 07:00 # (#04)
Run = Full on 1st sat dec at 07:00 # (#04)
Run = Differential 1st sun at 07:05 # (#04)
Run = Differential 2nd sun at 07:05 # (#04)
Run = Differential 3rd sun at 07:05 # (#04)
Run = Differential 4th sun at 07:05 # (#04)
Run = Differential 5th sun at 07:05 # (#04)
}


bconsole:
*reload
*show schedules

Schedule {
Name = "OffsiteCycle"
run = level=Full 1 at 07:00
run = level=Full 1 at 07:00

run = level=Differential 1st Sun at 07:05
run = level=Differential 2nd Sun at 07:05
run = level=Differential 3rd Sun at 07:05
run = level=Differential 4th Sun at 07:05
run = level=Differential 5th at 07:05
}




IT seems not matter what combination I put in the month is ignored. I am
running the latest 14.2 so could this be a bug??

Also in answer to your Joker quetion it will block waiting on the tape drive until the previous full backup that started 5 minutes earlier finishes.

[Ashley]

If it try your example i still get the same result, could it be a bug in 14.2??

Schedule {
Name = "OffsiteCycle"
Run = Full on 1 jun at 07:00 # (#04)
Run = Full on 1 dec at 07:00 # (#04)

Run = Differential 1st sun at 07:05 # (#04)
Run = Differential 2nd sun at 07:05 # (#04)
Run = Differential 3rd sun at 07:05 # (#04)
Run = Differential 4th sun at 07:05 # (#04)
Run = Differential 5th sun at 07:05 # (#04)
}

bconsole:

Schedule {
Name = "OffsiteCycle"
run = level=Full 1 at 07:00
run = level=Full 1 at 07:00

run = level=Differential 1st Sun at 07:05
run = level=Differential 2nd Sun at 07:05
run = level=Differential 3rd Sun at 07:05
run = level=Differential 4th Sun at 07:05
run = level=Differential 5th at 07:05
}

Seems the pretty printer indeed doesn't print months. Added this bug to
mantis:

https://bugs.bareos.org/view.php?id=407

Its only an output problem parsing is the same as before so it should work
the same as before.

Thanks Marco,

I also just noticed that the days are not printed after the 5th keyword as
per example below. Possibly related to the same issue.

...

Run = Differential 4th sun at 07:05 # (#04)
Run = Differential 5th sun at 07:05 # (#04)

Š


Output:

run = level=Differential 4th Sun at 07:05
run = level=Differential 5th at 07:05

Let me know if you need me to test anything.

Ash :)

Don't think its related but an other output problem. The code
is missing a loop for printing the months so that is pretty obvious.

Think that becomes an option when it enters into our bleeding edge codebase.
But given the example think we can stuff this config in a test VM and
see if the
fixed pretty printer behaves somewhat better.

How could you have a 6th monday ?

Bruno 5th not 6th. Plenty of months have 5 repeating days.

January this year has 5 x thur, fri and saturdays.
