Hello all, I have red many times the manual and of course I tried many settings, still without luck. I have 30 hosts which have about 1400Megabytes of data in summary. As I am using a 2TB harddisk for my backuppc pool, I would like (am able) to have just one full backup for all of them. If it's possible to have 2 FullBackups due to deduplication, that would be nice. But one full Backup is enough, because I dont have more capacity. So I would like to have:
- full backup, once a week - incremental backups, every day until next full backup is done I have configured: $Conf{FullPeriod} = '6.97'; $Conf{IncrPeriod} = '0.97'; $Conf{FullKeepCnt} = [1]; $Conf{FullKeepCntMin} = '1'; $Conf{FullAgeMax} = '6'; $Conf{IncrKeepCnt} = '6'; $Conf{IncrKeepCntMin} = '3'; $Conf{IncrAgeMax} = '14'; But I am facing the problem, that I get up to 3-4 FullBackups for each host and then the other host backups fail. I cannot explain why this happens. I have red, that if an incremental backup is needed for the last FullBackup or something like that, but to be hondest I didnt understand that :( I also tried $Conf{IncrKeepCnt} = '6'; then I stopped BackupPC, manually removed the backups within my pool harddisk, then I did a manually nightly_job cleanup with "/usr/share/backuppc/bin/BackupPC_nightly 0 255" and restarted BackupPC. What am I doing wrong? I would really appreciate any assistance for my desired backup scheme. What are the correct values for my purpose? Thank you. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ October Webinars: Code for Performance Free Intel webinars can help you accelerate application performance.
