Hello,
For those of you out there that use the VCSA, how are you getting a DB consistent backup automatically?
In the 5.x days, I had a script that ran locally on the VCSA that dumped the DB and compressed it. Then an outside file server connected, copied the files to itself, essentially keeping a few days of backups on the VCSA and long-term on the file server.
(https://communities.vmware.com/thread/449667)
Now with VCSA 6.x, things work a little different. I have created the updated backup script that runs locally (attached below) and that runs fine.
The issue I have is "how do I get the files off the VCSA via automated process?".
With the change of the shell environment on the VCSA, trying to accomplish this via code (bash in my case) is not working. I do not want to change the default shell permanently to resolve this (trying to change as little as possible on VCSA to avoid any
complications for future releases).
Maybe someone can shed some light on how this can be accomplished.
Thanks
B
