Post Admin Backup/Transfer script

[stars]

Is there a way to invoke post backup script after Admin Backup/Transfer?

I know that there's feature like http://www.directadmin.com/features.php?id=1237 but it is also triggered after reseller backup and I want post script only triggered fter Admin Backup/Transfer.

If you dont see it anywhere in http://www.directadmin.com/search_versions.php then it probably doesnt exist yet and you have to request it as a feature request.

all_backups_post.sh to be called after all backups are finished.

Only applies to backups triggered from:
Admin Level -> Admin Backup/Transfer
Reseller Level -> Manage User Backups

Yeah but he wants it only to run when admin level backups are ran and not reseller level backups. Not sure if there is a way to do some if statement or not. If not then there should be a way to do just admin level or just reseller level.

Yes it would be usefull for invoking e.g. some cleanup scripts or remote backup after Admin Backup/Transfer.

One script for both resellers and admins is useless because admin backups and reseller backups could be differently scheduled so we sometimes don't know when all_backups_post.sh will be triggered.

all_backups_post.sh will be triggered.

Why not to test it yourself then?

Just put this into the file all_backups_post.sh:

#!/bin/bash

env | grep -v pass > $0.env

and see how it works and when. You might find there name of an user who starts backup, or other variables to use in if..else statements.
