Different automatic Backups?

Hi,

 

first of all, the new version seems to be great although i haven''t worked a lot with it yet.

But i have an important question on the new backup-functionality.

 

I tried to enter more than one backup-job in den conf.xml like this:

 

<job type="system" class="org.exist.storage.BackupSystemTask" cron-trigger="0 0/2 * * * ?">

<parameter name="dir" value="C:\backup/backup_2" />

<parameter name="suffix" value=".zip" />

<parameter name="prefix" value="backup-" />

<parameter name="collection" value="/db" />

<parameter name="user" value="admin" />

<parameter name="password" value="" />

<parameter name="zip-files-max" value="10" />

</job>

<job type="system" class="org.exist.storage.BackupSystemTask" cron-trigger="0 0/5 * * * ?">

<parameter name="dir" value="C:\backup/backup_5" />

<parameter name="suffix" value=".zip" />

<parameter name="prefix" value="backup-" />

<parameter name="collection" value="/db" />

<parameter name="user" value="admin" />

<parameter name="password" value="" />

<parameter name="zip-files-max" value="12" />

</job>

<job type="system" class="org.exist.storage.BackupSystemTask" cron-trigger="0 0/10 * * * ?">

<parameter name="dir" value="C:\backup/backup_10" />

<parameter name="suffix" value=".zip" />

<parameter name="prefix" value="backup-" />

<parameter name="collection" value="/db" />

<parameter name="user" value="admin" />

<parameter name="password" value="" />

<parameter name="zip-files-max" value="6" />

</job>

Just for testing. Later we wanted to do backups every 2 hours (12 a day), every day (30 a month), every week (52 a year), every month (12 a year) so that we can restore to more different timepoints in the past. While the zip-files are getting bigger with more data, but we need dayly backups, 365 a year would be too much. So i tried to do that for testing in timings like 2, 5 and 10 minutes, but the first trigger is the only one that works. The other folders are still empty :-(

Any suggestions or information on how i can do this?

Thanks a lot, regards, Marcus

I had the same issue with scheduled XQuery tasks recently. I think the
problem is that the jobs are registered by class name (or XQuery
name), so you can only register a class once. We need to change that.

You might also be interested in a faster alternative to
BackupSystemTask, about which I just posted on the blog:

I tried to address this problem in SVN trunk: you can now assign a
name to each job by specifying a name="..." attribute on the <job>
element in conf.xml. This way, multiple instances of the same job
class can be registered (as long as the names are unique).

Hi,
that's great. What about the 1.2.1 release you spoke of?
Do you think this will happen this or next week, or do i have to use the svn
version?
Thanks, Marcus
