The reason you didn't find anything other than cron scheduling is that BackupPC does not have any features for strict scheduling of backups. The best it can do is to schedule the full backup as "1 week from the last successful full backup" and this is susceptible to creep due to failed backups (Saturday's full backup fails, so it tries again on Sunday...future full backups are now done on Sundays). If you need something more structured, you have to go to cron. -- Bowie ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Benefiting from Server Virtualization: Beyond Initial Workload Consolidation -- Increasing the use of server virtualization is a top priority.Virtualization can reduce costs, simplify management, and improve application availability and disaster protection.
