The meaning of FullKeepCnt array doubles for each element so if you do weekly fulls you can't quite hit yearly boundaries. [2,0,0,0,0,100] would keep the 2 most recent weeklys and one every 32 weeks for longer than you are likely to want them. Per http://sourceforge.net/apps/mediawiki/backuppc/index.php?title=Keep_yearly_backups the next step would be 64 weeks - but you could keep monthlys to have the last year boundary like: [2,0,13,0,0,100] Note that with backuppc's pooling it doesn't take that much more space to keep more history unless there is a big turnover in file content. Also, you may see a few more nearby fulls than you expect since they are retained if any incrementals depend on them. -- Les Mikesell [email protected] ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Enable your software for Intel(R) Active Management Technology to meet the growing manageability and security demands of your customers.
