Config V2 Group Scheduled Backup Logs

[pooryay21]

Hi, I'm using configuration V2 in order to take advantage of groups and scheduled backups for those groups, which works wonderfully, but... I cannot figure out how to get the scheduled group backup to record a log file per profile.

My working v1 lines are commented out in my example below. I tried adding those same lines within the groups > groupname > schedules section, but it doesn't seem to work.

Here's my current profiles.yaml file:

# https://creativeprojects.github.io/resticprofile/
---
version: 2

global:
  default-command: snapshots
  initialize: false
  priority: low
  min-memory: 100
  log: 'logs/{{ .Profile.Name }}_{{ .Now.Format "2006-01-02T15-04-05" }}.log'
  schedule-defaults:
    log: 'logs/scheduled-{{ .Profile.Name }}_{{ .Now.Format "2006-01-02T15-04-05" }}.log'

groups:
  groupname:
    profiles:
      - local
      - remote
    schedules:
      backup:

        - etc...
      tag:
        - nas
      exclude-caches: true

      # run-finally: 'cp {{ tempFile "backup-local.log" }} logs/restic-local_{{ .Now.Format "2006-01-02T15-04-05" }}.log'
      check-before: true

      keep-weekly: 4
      keep-monthly: 12
      keep-yearly: 7
      prune: true
    check:
      # Weekday is an integer from 0 to 6 (starting from Sunday)
      # Nice trick to add 1 to an integer: https://stackoverflow.com/a/72465098
      read-data-subset: '{{ len (printf "a%*s" .Now.Weekday "") }}/7'

  remote:
    inherit: default
    repository: "b2:backblazebucket:"
    option: "b2.connections=12"
    env:
      B2_ACCOUNT_ID: ""
      B2_ACCOUNT_KEY: ""
    backup:
      verbose: true
      source:
        - "backup-sources"
        - etc...
      tag:
        - backblaze
      exclude-caches: true
      one-file-system: true
      # run every day at 2:00 am

      # run-finally: 'cp {{ tempFile "backup-remote.log" }} logs/restic-remote_{{ .Now.Format "2006-01-02T15-04-05" }}.log'
      check-before: true
    retention:
      before-backup: false
      after-backup: true
      # keep-hourly: 1
      keep-daily: 7
      keep-weekly: 4
      keep-monthly: 12
      keep-yearly: 7
      prune: true
    check:
      # Weekday is an integer from 0 to 6 (starting from Sunday)
      # Nice trick to add 1 to an integer: https://stackoverflow.com/a/72465098
      read-data-subset: '{{ len (printf "a%*s" .Now.Weekday "") }}/7'

This was the closest I got, by adding some schedule setting in the global section, which creates a log file along the lines of default_2006-01-02T15-04-05.log. My goal would be to have 2 log files after each backup:

• local_2006-01-02T15-04-05.log
• remote_2006-01-02T15-04-05.log

Any clues how to get individual logs per profile would be helpful. Thanks!

That's right, the system doesn't really support that (yet).

I'll add it to the list 😆

Thanks for your report.
