Hi, I've been using BackupPC (3.0.0) on Ubuntu (8.x) for a while and am quite happy with it ... thanks a lot for the effort to all BackupPC developers and contributors!
I've started to look at the Archive functions. What I want to achieve is to do regular full and incremental backups, while archiving the most recent full backups to different media regularly (say once per week). As I understand, Archive will transfer the most recent backup to the archive storage location ... even if this is an incremental and the corresponding full backup has not been archived (which makes the incremental more or less unusable for disaster recovery purposes) Is there a setting somewhere to achieve this? Is ``filled incremental'' the best/recommended/only way? What are other people using? The only idea I have currently is to script the archive process to check for full backups on a daily basis, copy them to a staging area, and archive from there once a week ... this is possible, but lacks elegance :-) I've searched the archives (and also did some source code reading), but havn't found a discussion of this situation (I may have used the wrong search terms, though, so please point me in the right direction if I missed the obvious!) Thanks, \Bernhard. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Check out the new SourceForge.net Marketplace.
