Trigger hook script only once after backup

[Juc]

Hi!

I have configured a hook script in /etc/pve/jobs.cfg like so:

vzdump: backup-328b29be-c494
        schedule 3:00
        all 1
        enabled 1
        exclude 101
        exclude-path /mnt/datapool/images/103
        fleecing 0
        mode stop
        notes-template {{guestname}}
        prune-backups keep-daily=4,keep-last=2,keep-monthly=3,keep-weekly=4
        repeat-missed 1
        script /usr/local/bin/telgram_test.sh
        storage raspberry-backup_ID

My idea was, that this script gets triggered once after all my VMs and LXCs are backed up. However, it gets triggered many times (30-40x) during the backup process.
What would be an appropriate configuration for my use case?

Thanks,
Julius

Hi,
the script gets triggered at different stages of a backup process to allow to act upon these individually. You will get the phase as first argument passed to the script. For an example (as Perl code, but works analogous for a bash script) see https://git.proxmox.com/?p=pve-manager.git;a=blob;f=vzdump-hook-script.pl
