Dear backuppc-users-list, I use backuppc to backup some of my customers servers and dirvish to backup some others. The thing that I really like about dirvish (apart from it's easy configuration), is that it creates only one initial snapshot and than unlimited incremental backups based on hard-links. That means that there is never a second full backup after the initial one, ever! This dramatically decreases the amount of data needed to be transferred over the network over the time. This is especially essential if I need to backup a server over a slow DSL-internet-connection where a full-backup takes days....
Because I really like the benefits from backuppc (compression, re-using backups of multiple occuring single files over different hosts, great web-interface...) I ask myself how I can get backuppc to mimic this behavior from dirvish. Is it enough to screw up "FullPeriod" and "FullAgeMax" to let's say 9999999? Since I'm not fine with this idea which seems to conflict with the way backuppc operates, I ask for assistance. Im sorry if I was not able to make my intension perfectly clear, but please feel free to ask a more specific question. Thank you in advance!
