[rear-users] Equivalent BACKUP variable for ISO_PREFIX

Hello All

 

I use ISO_PREFIX="`date +%Y-%m-%d`-rearBMR-$HOSTNAME" and that works just
fine for my ISO naming convention, allowing me to have a few ISOs uniquely
named in the same path (OUTPUT_URL).

 

My question is - is there an equivalent for the backup set ? - i.e. such
that backup.tar.gz could have a similar prefix and hence also have a few
uniquely named copies in the same path (BACKUP_URL)

 

I scanned the man page and the /usr/share/rear/conf/default.conf file for
clues but didn't see anything obvious.

 

I'm hoping to have a few copies of ISOs and corresponding backup sets such
that the booted ISO would correctly pick up the corresponding backup set.. I
could rename them post backup of course but I'm thinking that the
corresponding ISO would not know how to retrieve and would look for the
default backup.tar.gz

 

Thanks in advance

 

Paul
