Hi, sorry for the apparently obvious question, but I couldn't find a good answer... I have BackupPC installed and working to backup the localhost (which is also a file server) and two other hosts (one Linux and one WinXP). My backup storage is big enough to hold two full backups, but not three. I have thus set FullKeepCnt=1 and FullKeepCntMin=1 thinking the older full backup would be deleted as soon as a new one is completed. The complete schedule is:
