Proposal: post-backup-script option

[esticle]

Hi,

Here is my proposal for adding a POST_BACKUP_SCRIPT environment variable to be executed after a backup has occurred.

In my particular case I like to do some post-backup actions such as listing all files in the last revision in a log file, keeping the backup log on disk, keeping a list of all revisions in a separate log, etc, the post-backup-hook enables this that not everybody might want to do and which probably will make the list of environment variables too long otherwise.

Could you give an example of such scripts?

Just an example:

#!/bin/bash
#
source /scripts/pushover-functions.sh
source $my_dir/common.sh # for 'converts'

# Last backup log
cat $log_file >> /log/backup.log

# List of backups
echo Grabbing list of backups
duplicacy list >> /log/list.log

# Files in last revision
echo Saving last revisions file-list
lastrev=`grep ^Snapshot /log/list.log | tail -1 | awk '{print $4}'`
duplicacy list -r ${lastrev} -files >> /log/files.log

# Pushover notification 
if [ -n ${PUSHOVER_USERKEY} ] ; then
  if [ $exitcode = 0 ] ; then
    status=OK
  else
    status=ERROR
  fi
  pushover-send "${HOSTNAME} backup $status duration $(converts $duration) and:
`grep -A4 ^'Backup for'` /log/backup.log`
"
fi
