Hello all,

I need guidance on how to configure backuppc to backup an rsyncd client
fully once (this has already been done) but never again to backup in full
for that client again; rather, do incrementals on a daily basis forever.

I understand the per-pc config.pl needs editting to overwrite the main
configurations.
This is where I am not too sure; I would do this, but please correct/advise:

1. Setting $Conf{FullPeriod} = -1; would ensure that there are no automatic
backups anymore
2. Keep $Conf{IncrPeriod} = 0.97; for daily incrementals
3. Setting $Conf{FullKeepCount} = 1; to keep the most recent full dump
(which will be the only one)
4. If I set $Conf{FullKeepCntMin} = 1; then how do I set $Conf{FullAgeMax}
so that it never is deleted? Because this is set at 90 on the main
config.pl.
5. Leave $Conf{IncrKeepCntMin} = 1; But I need to at least keep the most
recent increment all the time - this variable does not consider age does it?

This is against a main config.pl file that has the default backup setup i.e.
does one full every week and incrementals every day for each PC.

Any help is appreciated.

Kind Regards

Khaled
