Since there will only be Sunday backup sets left after two weeks, this last line will save backups when Sunday falls on the 1st or 15th of the month. Perhaps you want 1-7,15-22 so that you will capture the 1st and second Sunday no matter where they fall in the month. Is it your intent is that this system will actually be in service for 100 years? Or that it will be moved to newer hardware as time goes on? I usually make my last line simply save at least one backup for the year with 'never' for expiry. _______________________________________________ Dirvish mailing list [email protected] http://www.dirvish.org/mailman/listinfo/dirvish
