XenBackup NG

A friend modify my script and make some change i post his change:

# XenBackup-ng by Riccardo Bicelli
# built on “XEN Server backup by Filippo Zanardo – https://pipposan.wordpress.com”

# Usage: “perl xenbackup.pl “, where job name is the name of the job file located in subfolder “jobs”, without “.conf” suffix.

# Difference between this and Xenbackup
# 1. Subroutines
# 2. Separation of configuration files and hierarchy:
# – conf/strings.conf -> Where strings of log and mail notification can be localized
# – conf/xenbackup.conf -> global configuration file, where you can specify also default parameters if you are not using jobs
# – jobs/job.conf -> Job File, loaded after xenbackup.conf
# 3. Now backup is possible with VM Selection
# 4. Quiesce snapshot for Windows VM (Only if guest has Xenserver VSS provider installed)
# 5. Mail Notification now comes with a head Section with a checklist of backed up VM and verbose log attached, if wanted
# 6. More controls on commands executed (e.g. Exit codes checked after some command execution)
# 7. Keeps care of running state of the VM (e.g if a VM in in state halted it is not started after backup job)
# 8. Versioning (deletion of files) executed only if backup process went fine

# To Implement:
# 1. Host Backup
# 2. Metadata backup with Metadata SR Copy
# 3. Metadata option to BM backup
# 4. Pool data backup

Xenserver Backup Updated 2.2

Ok guys,
i have some time and i have updated my xen backup script, to improve it and to add some few features.
Basically i add the possibility to compress the backup and the possibility to have more than 1 removable storage, the line changed in the config.txt file are:

#the uudi of the removable storage, at the moment i don’t have an efficent script to localize since name can change
@removableuuid = (‘d7a8fb07-e7d1-9eb4-6d79-dca8680ace89′,’d7a8fb07-e7d1-9eb4-6d79-dca8680ace86’);

#compress option enable/disable compression
$compress = true;

#compress command
$compresscmd = “tar -czvf”;

#compress extension easiser for me to put correct extension
$compressext = “.tar.gz”;

Few other check and modification, the rest is the same.
You can downlaod the new script at:
