Hi,
It would be nice if you could offer (through the GUI) the following backup solutions:
- daily rolling full backups (i.e. vm101.._01.tar.gz, vm101.._02.tar.gz etc.). The user would define the [0..x].
- ability to run scripts before the backup
Before the backup starts I want to do the dump and freeze trick with the databases in the virtual machines. I want to register a shell script on the host (or even local to the VM!) that is called synchronously before the backup.
- ability to run scripts after the backup
Same motivation as running scripts before the backup, but also
I like to move my backups off the same physical machine and use rsyncdiff (which is a great tool I think, as is duplicity), but how do I hook these in? I could just wait an hour after the backup starts, but that is clumsy. At the very least, being able to enter a script that is run before and after the backup.
Previously I have done these things with shell scripts/cron, but it would be nice to do it from the web GUI.
As always, many thanks for your hardwork!
