Hi
I've been using BackupPC for a couple of years now and am very pleased
with it. Using vers 2.0.2 (yes I know I could do with updating it ;-) ).
But I am confused. When I set my config as below, I still get 7 full
backups, and 18 incrementals. The oldest Full backup is 196 days old,
oldest incremental is 188 days old.
Why do I not get 3 fulls as I specified? BackupNightly is run every day.
Is it because its trying to do a maximum of 20 incrementals and needs
more fulls to be able to get 20 incrementals from this ?
With 7 Fulls, my disk space is neraly 86% used, so I need to be able to
get this sorted.
Thanks

PS Hopefully beat the Aussies at cricket today !! (Sorry Craig !!).

# Number of full backups to keep. Must be >= 1.

# In the steady state, each time a full backup completes successfully

# extra old backups will be removed.

# If filling of incremental dumps is off the oldest backup always
# has to be a full (ie: filled) dump. This might mean an extra full
# dump is kept until the second oldest (incremental) dump expires.

$Conf{FullKeepCnt} = 3;
#
# Very old full backups are removed after $Conf{FullAgeMax} days. However,
# we keep at least $Conf{FullKeepCntMin} full backups no matter how old
# they are.

$Conf{FullKeepCntMin} = 3;
$Conf{FullAgeMax} = 100;
