I see your point about restoring with the GUI. On the other hand, as Les
said about database dumps, I'm afraid you could not be saving much with
BackupPC
If you are going to cron delete backups, I looked to Matthias Meyer delete
scipt again. This lines may help
while read CLine
do
BackupNumber=`echo $CLine | awk '{print $1}'`
BackupType=`echo $CLine | awk '{print $2}'`
BackupTime=`stat -c "%y" $TopDir/pc/$client/$BackupNumber | awk
'{print $1}'`
echo "BackupNumber $BackupNumber - $BackupType-Backup from
$BackupTime"
# Some conditional delete here?
done < $TopDir/pc/$client/backups
[...]
echo "`date +\"%Y-%m-%d %T\"` BackupPC_deleteBackup delete
$TopDir/pc/$client/$bNumber" >> $LogDir/LOG
rm -fr $TopDir/pc/$client/$bNumber > /dev/null 2>&1
Good Luck
Luis
