Hi all, It is my interpretation that BackupPC will 'fire-up' at the configured wake intervals to opportunistically do backups outside of blackout periods defined globally or overridden per-host. If I am wrong on this then someone please bail me up right now to correct my understanding before I go on. If however it is as I interpret, then I need to ask some questions:
1/ If today (the day of a new host config) is Thursday and I want to have a backups cycle start next Tuesday then how do schedule that? (Or is scheduling always relative to the first time a backup is run?) 2/ If a Full backup (or incremental not as importantly) fails on the day I wanted it to run, then what is the BackupPC catch-up policy ie. how long or many times will BackupPC try to get a good Full for? 3/ What happens to failed jobs data resulting from my question 2? 4/ Will backups ever be allowed to overlap? (mostly to do with incremental - but conceivably for Full too - with an rsync dribble-throttle policy) Thanks (if you also care to check my question re: PostXXXXCmd REMOTEUSER $ubstitution that'd be ace)** -- Mark ------------------------------------------------------------------------- This SF.net email is sponsored by DB2 Express Download DB2 Express C - the FREE version of DB2 express and take control of your XML.
