Hi,
I inherited a BackupPC system from a previous admin, and admit to not
have used it before.
I'm trying to get a handle on the timing of full and incremental
backups. I've read through the docs but still am not understanding the
odd schedule of backup runs that are going on for my systems. Ideally I
would like to see incrementals done sun-fri and fulls on sat. All
starting about 12:30am each day.
But it seems they're all over the place, with days missed, which I don't
quite understand.
I'm using version 2.1.2.
Here is (what I think) the relevant config variables are that I have
set:
$Conf{WakeupSchedule} = [0.5];
$Conf{MaxBackups} = 2;
$Conf{MaxBackupPCNightlyJobs} = 4;
$Conf{BackupPCNightlyPeriod} = 1;
$Conf{FullPeriod} = 6.97;
$Conf{IncrPeriod} = 0.97;
$Conf{FullKeepCnt} = 4;
$Conf{FullKeepCntMin} = 8;
$Conf{FullAgeMax} = 120;
$Conf{IncrKeepCnt} = 6;
$Conf{IncrKeepCntMin} = 6;
$Conf{IncrAgeMax} = 60;
$Conf{BlackoutPeriods} = [
{
hourBegin => 7.0,
hourEnd => 19.5,
weekDays => [1, 2, 3, 4, 5],
},
];
Here's a recent sample of 1 host's backup runs:
Backup# Type Filled Start Date Duration/mins
Age/days Server Backup Path
811 full yes 12/9 11:23 2.3 25.0
/backup2/pc/copper/811
816 full yes 12/16 11:32 2.7 17.9
/backup2/pc/copper/816
822 full yes 12/24 11:00 2.1 10.0
/backup2/pc/copper/822
823 incr no 12/26 08:58 0.2 8.1
/backup2/pc/copper/823
824 incr no 12/28 01:44 0.2 6.4
/backup2/pc/copper/824
825 incr no 12/29 03:17 0.3 5.3
/backup2/pc/copper/825
826 incr no 12/31 01:29 0.2 3.4
/backup2/pc/copper/826
827 full yes 1/1 01:18 2.4 2.4
/backup2/pc/copper/827
828 incr no 1/2 01:15 0.3 1.4
/backup2/pc/copper/828
829 incr no 1/3 01:47 0.2 0.4
/backup2/pc/copper/829
Note no backup on 12/25 or 12/30.
Any help with understanding what's going on, and how I can get it to do
the above that I mentioned would be much appreciated.
Thanx,
-Tony
