I have a SAS tapedrive connected to a dedicated server for backups. On this machine bareos-sd is running. I do not want the bareos-sd server powered on all the time when it is only backup-ping a litte time of the day.

So I have made some scripts to power on and off the server. The server is a Supermicro machine with IPMI, so I am using ipmiutils to power on/off the machine.

The catalog backup runs with a lower priority so shutting down the server after the catalog backup makes sense. In a schedule I always end with creating a catalog backup

/etc/bareos/bareos-dir.d/job/catalog.conf

Job {
  Name = catalog
  Client = backup-mngt-bh
  Type = Backup
  Level = Full
  Storage = disk-bh
  Pool = disk
  Messages = Standard
  FileSet = catalog
  Schedule = catalog

  # Default
  #RunBeforeJob = /usr/lib/bareos/scripts/make_catalog_backup
  # Helux
  RunBeforeJob = /usr/lib/bareos/scripts/make_catalog_backup.sh
  # Default
  #RunAfterJob  = "/usr/lib/bareos/scripts/delete_catalog_backup"
  # Helux
  RunAfterJob  = "/usr/lib/bareos/scripts/delete_catalog_backup.sh"
#  Write Bootstrap = "|/usr/bin/bsmtp -h localhost -f \"\(Bareos\) \" -s \"Bootstrap for Job %j\" root@localhost" # (#01)
  Priority = 11
}

/usr/lib/bareos/scripts/delete_catalog_backup.sh
