Hi, wouldn't it be possible to do this with the exponential backup expiry like this:
$Conf{FullPeriod} = 6,97 $Conf{IncPeriod} = 0,97 $Conf{FullKeepCnt} = [4,0,12,0,0,0,10] Would that give me: daily incrementals for a week, 4 weeks of full backups (1 full each week), 12 months (4*12 weeks) of full backups ( 1 full of each month), ~10 years (10*64 of backups ( 1 full of each year) Can anyone clarify this for me? thx in advance, Roman Am 2014-09-09 14:16, schrieb Gerald Brandt: > Hi, > > I wrote a script in bash to take care of deleting old backup.
