Hi,

I'm looking at enhancing backups to add two features:

1. skip backups of machines that haven't run since the last backup
    1. Since backups run at least once/week, I'll make the simplifying
       assumption that if the most recent backup is older than one week
       and we haven't had a VM on during the last week, that it doesn't
       need to be backed up
    2. It looks like the start/stop activity can be found in
       /var/log/syslog, /var/log/daemon.log and
       /var/log/pve/tasks/index. What are the advantages/disadvantages
       of using each of these log files?
2. allow backup job descriptions to rotate across multiple storages
   (e.g. backup to three NFS servers and always replace the oldest backup)

I'd appreciate knowing if any of this work has already been done and of course any thoughts/suggestions that you might have!

Jeff
