HBS3 commands using CLI

[ganekogorta]

Hi

I have some tasks outside the NAS (other systems) with an unknown duration.

When that task finishes it generates a flag file.

Using a scheduled CRON task I check for the existence of that file and by console launch the sync task [JobXX] ( qsync -j:JobXX -c:/file.conf )

Since HBS3 has been updated, the console command doesn´t work because qsync.conf doesn't exist.
In HBS3 definition tasks, there are only time schedules or after running other HBS3 tasks.

How can I launch those tasks using console?

Did you manage to discover how to configure and start tasks?

[ganekogorta]

No, i didn’t

I'm still looking for how to do it

Hi
I have asked the Spanish SAT of qnap, and they didn't know it either

it depends very much on the target of the backup on. If the HBS server of the target has the version 2.1xxx e.g. with RTRR backup the command generates

/usr/bin/RTRR -C:/etc/qsync/qsynchbs3.conf -J:Job0

With new HBS 3 as target the configuration data are stored in the mariadb and are read out by various qsync servers there is no explicit HBS command. I have figured that out so far.
Unfortunately there is no information from QNAP for the scheme nor a command option to start backups... too bad.
You can reset the password of the root of the database but it may be that you violate the upgrade or consistency.

Sorry...

Hi

I am thinking to use a bash script.

In this script, I will use rsync, as a standard command and forgetting to use the HBS3 proprietary program

Hi ,
yes I see that's also a solution... But its really sad to fallback to an bash script with rsync if you have an so a backup program with a lot of functionalities for free .. but without controlling from CLI.

I used a bash script for switch on my backup NAS Server (over WOL) make backup and switch down again. It work's fine till upgrade to HBS 3.

Hi
You are right

Some years ago, there was a tv spot that said “Power without control is useless” (la potencia sin control no sirve de nada).
And that happens to us with hsb3

I really wanted to trigger from CLI so I investigated how the GUI does and imitated this in this script. Replace variables, find out job GUID and start the script with guid as param:

Code: Select all

#!/bin/bash

#Starts with job guid as param, find guid here: http://$nasIp/cc3/v1/users/system/jobs

nasIp="192.168.1.x"
user="user"
password="password"

auth=$(curl "http://$nasIp/cgi-bin/authLogin.cgi" -H "Content-type: application/x-www-form-urlencoded" --data-urlencode "user=$user" --data-urlencode "serviceKey=1" --data-urlencode "pwd=$(echo -n $password | base64)" --silent)

sidXML=$(echo "$auth" | grep -Eo "<authSid>(.+?)</authSid>")
sidStrip="${sidXML/<authSid><![CDATA[/}"
sid="${sidStrip/]]><\/authSid>/}"

curl "http://$nasIp/cc3/v1/users/system/jobs/$1?command=start" -H "X-QNAP-SID: $sid" --data-raw '{}' --silent

I realize this post is a couple years old, but rullen's method looks like it will work for me. I had trouble with the bash script as it was shared, but that might have just been a mistake on my part, and I got the HTTP requests working in another tool. Thanks!
