Basically I've got things set up where I run full backups every Friday, and incrementals M-Thurs each week. I want to keep enough backups on disk, that I can go as far back as 2 months if need be.
I originally set this up to keep 8 fulls, and 16 incrementals (2 months of fulls but only 1 month of incrementals which could be a problem if a file was created and deleted during the same week between 1-2 months ago). After doing some reading, I also realized that the incrementals are basically differentials since I left them set at the default IncrLevels value of 1. So, if I wanted to keep the same philosophy, I would essentially just need to bump up the number of incrementals to keep to 32 correct? Just wanted to make sure I'm understanding the use of incrementals with BackupPC and of course that this makes logical sense. +---------------------------------------------------------------------- |This was sent by [email protected] via Backup Central. |Forward SPAM to [email protected]. +---------------------------------------------------------------------- ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ _______________________________________________ BackupPC-users mailing list [email protected] List: https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/backuppc-users Wiki: http://backuppc.wiki.sourceforge.net Project: http://backuppc.sourceforge.net/
