Hi Bob -
I regularly backup older multi-gigabyte PST files. I use a 7 day Fill
schedule. BackupPC doesn't actually backup the file if it is
unchanged, but it will appear in the backup # of the Filled backup.
I've messed with full backups and filled schedules. It's all a wash
- any pre-existing unchanged file isn't backed up - it simply appears
in the backup #.
Craig stated the fulls and filled backups are de-coupled and it
appears to be so.
*$Conf{FullPeriod} --- which we want large enough to ensure we NEVER
do another full backup*
Why?
As you pointed out, it's not an issue, thanks to de-duplication. I just
got the impression from the documentation that the user could/should
choose never doing another full backup. The documentation discusses the
option of setting a very long Full period.
*$Conf{FillCycle} --- if we set this >0 would it slow down the
day-to-day backup operation?
*
With these very large files is there any issue with
setting*$Conf{FullKeepCnt} >1 ?*
*Full keep count *seems* to correspond to the number of Filled backups
kept around...*
I'm not seeing any negative results with keeping FullPeriod at 6.97
and FillCycle at 7.
Excellent. I'll just leave these defaults.
