I'm wondering why the full backups numbered 2 are not going back
down to 1 to free up some space on the server?
In the glbal Schedule, I have the following:
FullPeriod: 6.97
FullKeepCnt: 1
FullKeepCntMin: 1
FullAgeMax: 7
and it's my understanding that backuppc should cycle those full
backups above to trash because of the above globals yes?
Did anyone have any ideas on this?
I responded to this a couple of days ago. Here's what I wrote, in case
you missed it:
It depends on how many *incrementals* you have, too. The number of
backups you keep will be the FullKeepCnt + IncrKeepCnt, plus any fulls
that must be kept to support those incrementals. So, it's possible you
ask for a certain number of full backups on a schedule that are kept,
but in order for you to retain the incrementals specified, extra
baseline full backups are kept as well. So, in your above situation, if
you specify 1 FullKeepCnt, if you have ANY incrementals saved, once a
new full is taken, the last incremental will be *older* than the most
recent full backup, so the full backup just prior to the incremental
must be kept as well, resulting in 2 fulls, 1 incremental.
Does that make sense?
