Tape Backup Jobs
|
||||
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
|
||||
|
||||
To automate tape backup, you can configure tape backup jobs which
|
||||
store datastore content to a media pool at a specific time
|
||||
schedule. Required settings are:
|
||||
|
||||
- ``store``: The datastore you want to backup
|
||||
|
||||
- ``pool``: The media pool - only tape cartridges from that pool are
|
||||
used.
|
||||
|
||||
- ``drive``: The tape drive.
|
||||
|
||||
- ``schedule``: Job schedule (see :ref:`calendar-event-scheduling`)
|
||||
|
||||
For example, to configure a tape backup job for datastore ``vmstore1``
|
||||
use:
|
||||
|
||||
.. code-block:: console
|
||||
|
||||
# proxmox-tape backup-job create job2 --store vmstore1 \
|
||||
--pool yourpool --drive yourdrive --schedule daily
|
||||
|
||||
Backup includes all snapshot from a backup group by default. You can
|
||||
set the ``latest-only`` flag to include only the latest snapshots:
|
||||
|
||||
.. code-block:: console
|
||||
|
||||
# proxmox-tape backup-job update job2 --latest-only
|
||||
|
||||
Backup jobs can use email to send tape requests notifications or
|
||||
report errors. You can set the notification user with:
|
||||
|
||||
.. code-block:: console
|
||||
|
||||
# proxmox-tape backup-job update job2 --notify-user root@pam
|
||||
|
||||
.. Note:: The email address is a property of the user (see :ref:`user_mgmt`).
|
||||
|
||||
It is sometimes useful to eject the tape from the drive after a
|
||||
backup. For a standalone drive, the ``eject-media`` option eject the
|
||||
tape, making sure that the following backup cannot use the tape
|
||||
(unless someone manually loads the tape again). For tape libraries,
|
||||
this option unloads the tape to a free slot, which provides better
|
||||
dust protection than inside a drive:
|
||||
|
||||
.. code-block:: console
|
||||
|
||||
# proxmox-tape backup-job update job2 --eject-media
|
||||
|
||||
.. Note:: For failed jobs, the tape remain in the drive.
|
||||
|
||||
For tape libraries, the ``export-media`` options moves all tapes from
|
||||
the media set to an export slot, making sure that the following backup
|
||||
cannot use the tapes. An operator can pickup those tapes and move them
|
||||
to a vault.
|
||||
|
||||
.. code-block:: console
|
||||
|
||||
# proxmox-tape backup-job update job2 --export-media
|
||||
|
||||
.. Note:: The ``export-media`` option can be used to force the start
|
||||
of a new media set, because tapes from the current set are no
|
||||
longer online.
|
||||
|
||||
It is also possible to run backup jobs manually:
|
||||
|
||||
.. code-block:: console
|
||||
|
||||
# proxmox-tape backup-job run job2
|
||||
|
||||
To remove a job, please use:
|
||||
|
||||
.. code-block:: console
|
||||
|
||||
# proxmox-tape backup-job remove job2
|
||||
