Hello,
UI am wondering if there is a way to define a DLE that would all
incrementals but only with increasing level:
- full (0)
- incremental 1
- incremental 2
- incremental 3
- etc.
But never: 0, 1, 1, 1, 2
Each back-up level must be above the previous one or be a full back-up.
I am not sure what you are trying to accomplish,
I am trying to backup something that can only have incremental with
increasing levels: it cannot do two level 1 in a row, levels must be 1,
then 2, then 3, etc. (think some successive snapshots).
According to amanda.conf(5) man page:
bumpdays int
Default: 2 days. To insure redundancy in the dumps, Amanda keeps
filesystems at the same incremental level for at least bumpdays
days, even if the other bump threshold criteria are met.
I want to absolutely cancel that feature, each incremental must have a
level creater than the previous dump and an incremental level can not be
bumped (only level 0 can be bumped).
OK, I"m actually curious what your exact reasoning for requiring this
is, because I'm seeing exactly zero circumstances where this makes sense
at all, and can think of multiple ways it's a bad thing (for example,
losing your level one incremental makes all of your backups for that
cycle useless).
