Hi Christian,

it's some time ago I wrapped my head around this, but if I'm not mistaken, it should be like this.

Hi all,

just as an addition:
Will there be a difference between the following config-items?

FullKeepCnt = [4,0,1,1] vs. FullKeepCnt = [3,0,1,1]

Yes, there is a difference.
[4,0,1,1] means you keep
* the last 4 week, so 4 * FullPeriod
* None that is 6 weeks old, 4 weeks + (2 * FullPeriod)
* one that is 8 weeks old (last one is 4 weeks old and you wait another 4 * FullPeriod -> 8 weeks) * one that is 16 weeks old (last one was 8 weeks and you wait 8 * FullPeriod)
So, you have weeks 1,2,3,4,8,16

Now the same for [3,0,1,1]
1,2,3,7,15

and
FullKeepCnt = [3,0,1,1] vs. FullKeepCnt = [3,0,2]

[3,0,1,1] = 1,2,3,7,14

[3,0,2] = 1,2,3,7,11

I hope this helps.

Cheers

Thanks in advance!

Hi all,

I am using BackupPC4 (no v3 pool).

Settings are:
FullKeepCnt = [4,0,1,1]
FillCycle = 0
FullPeriod = 6.97

Am I right BackupPC will keep 4 filled/full backups from every week, another one from 1 months an one from two months? I am a little bit unsure here, even though the documentation seems to be quiet good.
full0 = current full
full1 = 1 week old
full2 = 2 weeks old
full3 = 3 weeks old
full4 = 4 weeks old
full5 = 8 weeks old

Is this correct? And once FullPEriod of the last full is close to 7.97 it will be:
full0 = 1 week old (nearly)
full1 = 2 weeks old
full2 = 3 weeks old
full3 = 4 weeks old
full4 = 5 weeks old (unsure about this)
full5 = 9 weeks old

When backup starts for the next filled full5 will be removed, right?

Thanks a lot!

/Christian
