#450 Issue `closed`: backuparchive file naming convention¶

Labels: waiting for info, support / question

bbeaver opened issue at 2014-08-15 19:37:¶

I'm using rear on a 2-node drbd cluster for d/r and backups, and plan to tweak the backuparchive filename written such that it indicates whether the node was acting as "primary" or "secondary" at the time of the rear backup. As delivered using the NETFS incremental option, the default filename looks like 2014-08-12-0826-F.tar.gz. I want to customize such that the filename looks like 2014-08-12-0826-F.primary.tar.gz, (or 2014-08-12-0826-F.secondary.tar.gz). The scripting to accomplish this is easy enough - my question is, where would you suggest inserting this customization? Should it be done within the /usr/share/rear/prep/NETFS/default/07_set_backup_archive.sh file, or is there a better place? Or, perhaps an environment variable that can be used?

Thanks

need to verify this myself. Need some time (but not today)

@bbeaver sorry for the delay - yes - the prep/NETFS/default/07_set_backup_archive.sh is the best place to modify it (albeit lost after updating rear)
