Hello All
I currently have a backup set (5+ weeks) of two server images. I'm no longer
backing them up, so I removed these two from runall. But I want to keep the
current backups in the bank, but not have them removed when expire is run. Is
there a way to exclude a vault when dirvish-expire is called? I have 8 other
vaults that I do not want to change the behaviour.
Thanks!
hanj

I didn't interpret his post to say he wanted to keep the latest image in
each vault. I interpreted it as he wants dirvish-expire to leave his 8
selected vaults--the heck alone!
Interestingly enough, I had the exact opposite issue. I wound up
writing a script to make my vaults expire.
Howdy hanj! dirvish-expire searches for the summary file that is
located in each vault. From my tests, it doesn't seem to matter whether
or not the vault has been renamed nor whether the vault has been removed
from the master.conf file. SO... you'll need to go edit each of your
summary files to give them more time.
I wrote a script to facilitate the modification of all these summary
files. In my case I wanted to immediately expire my images. I wrote
dirvish-makeitexpire to do just that. I published that script in my
wiki-example-setup on the dirvish site. Visit
http://wiki.dirvish.org/index.cgi?ForceExpire so see the script.
You can modify that script to extend the expire time on your vaults by
changing the '-' sign to a '+' sign in the
NEWYEAR=$[ NEWYEAR = $NEWYEAR - 1 ]
line. You may also want to change the value that you add to NEWYEAR
from "1" to oh...?? 10?
after you tailor the command to your use, just sit in each of your vault
directories and run 'dirvish-makeitexpire *'
For multiple vaults you could run...
for VAULT in vault1 vault2 vault3; do cd $VAULT; dirvish-makeitexpire * ; cd ..
; done
