In general, using FullKeepCnt and IncrKeepCnt (and associated variables) works well to prune older backups.
But sometimes there is a *specific* older backup that you want to hang onto because it has some crucial data (or is a 'better' snapshot). It would be great if you could tell BackupPC to keep an arbitrary list of numbered backups for each different host. (If any of the listed backups are incrementals, then BackupPC would of course be smart enough to save the relevant precedent incrementals and full backups). For example I could imagine, a perl hash of arrays of the following form: $Conf{PreserveBackups} = { "hostA" => [ '23', '354', '798' ], "hostB" => [ '3', '25', '37', '101' ], "hostC" => [ '9', '11', '33', '434' ], }; Does this make sense? ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Let Crystal Reports handle the reporting - Free Crystal Reports 2008 30-Day trial.
