I'm trying to setup offsite backups using the archive feature. My testing
shows that the backup number is part of the archive file name and that
generates a couple of questions I couldn't find answers to.

 

Why do I have to manually create the /var/lib/backuppc/pc/<archive host>
directory?

 

If I setup a weekly archive via cron, will each week's archives add to the
existing set because of the increasing backup number? If so, what's the best
way to remove the previous archives for each host?

 

If I remove the backup number from the file name, will BackupPC overwrite
the existing archive?

 

Which of these to options would you recommend?

 

Regards,

 

Brad
