 +Download latest files from github:

 =====Configure crontab===== =====Configure crontab=====
 +Add the following on each ESXi hypervisor. The notation of the crontab is as follows:
 +  #min hour day mon dow command
 +
 +using the following config it means. run on 1:00 on sunday (day 0)
 +
 +<code - /etc/rc.local.d/local.sh>
 +.
 +.
 +/bin/kill $(cat /var/run/crond.pid)

 +crond
 +exit 0
 +</code>
 +
 +after that run it for 1 time only!
 +
 +  /etc/rc.local.d/local.sh
 +
 +make it persistent
 +
 +  /sbin/auto-backup.sh
 +
 +=====Use Bacula to backup the NFS share=====
 +We only backup vms backupped with status OK. So I use a script before I run the Bacula job.
 +This script is the same NFS share on Linux as a datastore on the hypervisor. In this situation the NFS share is mounted on /mnt/synology/volume1/vmware/backup on the Linux machine we are going to backup using Bacula.
 +
 +<code - run-before-bacula.sh>
 +#!/bin/bash
 +BACKUPDIR=/mnt/synology/volume1/vmware/backup
 +STATUSOK=STATUS.ok
 +STATUSWARN=STATUS.warn

 +  ams) DATADIR=$BACKUPDIR/data/amsterdam ;;
 +  *) echo "usage $0 <bh|rtd|ams>"
 +     exit 1 ;;
 +esac
 +

 +  fi
 +  mv $fulldir $TEMPDIR/$VMNAME
