iiuc backuppc currently has no feature to disperse the likelihood that several or many full backups will consistently be aligned to occur on the same day. indeed it's quite likely that many full backups will consistently align on the same day, eg if they were added on the same day and follow the same schedule.
i prefer that the load/time of doing full backups be dispersed from being aligned on the same day. currently any such dispersion must be contrived manually, and either gets lost whenever downtime happens, or requires separate config files for each host/filesystem. so if there's an enhancement queue i suggest an option to specify if full backups are desired on certain days, or if it's desired that they are dispersed from all occurring together. for an example, if 4 hosts are defined, and if fulls are preferred on sundays, and if fulls are desired every 2 weeks, it would be nicest if the size of the last full backups were noted, the smallest and largest full backup done on one sunday, and the remaining full backups on the next sunday, and it remained/returned to be so even after any downtime. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ BPM Camp - Free Virtual Workshop May 6th at 10am PDT/1PM EDT Develop your own process in accordance with the BPMN 2 standard Learn Process modeling best practices with Bonita BPM through live exercises http://www.bonitasoft.com/be-part-of-it/events/bpm-camp-virtual- event?utm_ source=Sourceforge_BPM_Camp_5_6_15&utm_medium=email&utm_campaign=VA_SF _______________________________________________ BackupPC-users mailing list [email protected] List: https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/backuppc-users Wiki: http://backuppc.wiki.sourceforge.net Project: http://backuppc.sourceforge.net/
