Re: How to tell when database backup has finished?

    You could search the task.with nstaskstatus attribute.

    
    $ ldapsearch -LLLx -h localhost -p <port> -D 'cn=directory
    manager' -w <pw> -b "cn=backup,cn=tasks,cn=config"
    "(cn=backup_*)" nstaskstatus

    
    When the task is done, you'll see the "Backup finished." status:

    dn: cn=backup_2012_4_5_9_35_35,cn=backup,cn=tasks,cn=config

    nstaskstatus: Backup finished.

    
    Another way would be checking the errors log, which logs the end of
    the back up.

    [05/Apr/2012:09:32:09 -0700] - Backing up
      file 31
      (/var/lib/dirsrv/slapd-totoro/bak/totoro-2012_4_5_9_32_8/DBVERSION)

      [05/Apr/2012:09:32:09 -0700] - Backup finished.
    Thanks,

        Hi guys,
         
        I want to tar up the backup set once a
          db2bak.pl backup job has finished.
        however because it writes an entry to the
          LDAP and doesn’t wait for the backup to finish I was wondering
          what the best way to determine when the backup has actually
          finished?
         
        I was thinking that I could
        Ldapsearch at intervals for the backup cn
          entry, when it’s not there anymore backup has finished
        Ro maybe watch the audit log for a delete
          action on the backup cn entry..
         
        Any thoughts appreciated.
         
        Cheers,
        Brett
