ebor Posted November 20, 2008 Report Share Posted November 20, 2008 I was thinking I could get Retrospect to invoke external scripts to take snapshots of various databases, Subversion repositories etc. For all of these I can write script to do incremental or full backups. My problem is retrospect event handler is NOT told what backup action type it is running on StartSource. However it is told that action type on EndSource. Why? Incremental backup of a database is just copying the transaction log. Full backup of a database can be done in many different ways. The event handler script needs to know what kinda of backup is about to run so it can dump appropriate files into the source directory to be packed up by Retrospect. Another missing item of info would be backup set name. I don't specifically need it, but I thought the whole idea of event handlers was to give it all info available and let the handler decide what it needs to use.
