I have recently moved to BackupPC version 4, and strange things now
happen to my full backups.
I have set
$Conf{FullPeriod} = '60';
which I believe would indicate a full backup every 60 days. However,
instead I get a full backup every other day.
The "Backup Summary" on the admin page looks like this:
Backup# Type Filled Level Start Date Duration/mins Age/days
Server Backup Path
15 <http://kreacher/bpc?action=browse&host=legolas&num=15> incr no 1
3/20 20:06 14.0 12.7 /var/lib/backuppc/pc/legolas/15
17 <http://kreacher/bpc?action=browse&host=legolas&num=17> incr no 1
3/22 20:05 15.3 10.7 /var/lib/backuppc/pc/legolas/17
19 <http://kreacher/bpc?action=browse&host=legolas&num=19> incr no 1
3/24 20:04 12.6 8.7 /var/lib/backuppc/pc/legolas/19
21 <http://kreacher/bpc?action=browse&host=legolas&num=21> incr no 1
3/27 20:05 13.3 5.8 /var/lib/backuppc/pc/legolas/21
22 <http://kreacher/bpc?action=browse&host=legolas&num=22> partial no
0 3/28 20:00 0.0 4.8 /var/lib/backuppc/pc/legolas/22
25 <http://kreacher/bpc?action=browse&host=legolas&num=25> incr no 1
4/1 10:01 12.9 1.2 /var/lib/backuppc/pc/legolas/25
26 <http://kreacher/bpc?action=browse&host=legolas&num=26> full yes 0
4/2 13:00 62.6 0.1 /var/lib/backuppc/pc/legolas/26
Except for a problem around backup 22/23 you see this pattern: Backups
15, 17, 19, 21, 25 (all odd numbers) are incremental; backups 16, 18,
20, 24 (all even numbers) are missing.
Backup 26 (an even number) is full. Tomorrow, the list will show backup
27 being incremental and backup 26 will have disappeared. The day after
tomorrow a new full backup 28 will appear.
Is this the intended behaviour?
