Sometimes you want to save a special backup that for example corresponds to a specific change (pre/post) on your system. The trouble is that with exponential deleting there is no way to guarantee that your specific designated backup won't be deleted automatically later on.
In the past, I have simply renamed the backup number to say <num>-save which prevents it from being deleted. But it also prevents the backup from being part of <host-name>/backups and thus being browsable from the web interface. Ideally, it would be nice if one could prevent a specific backup from being deleted (or even being part of the exponential schema) by either: 1. Adding a designated "LOCK" file to the top director (just under the backun number) 2. Prefixing the entry in the <host-name>/backups file with a character that says essentially, skip over me for deleting purposes but otherwise I am still here. Any suggestions better than my renaming of the backup tree itself?
