Can you rename the ID of the backup folder so that the cronjob doesn’t delete it?
mv /var/lib/BackupPC/pc/<backupname>/<Number> /var/lib/BackupPC/pc/<backupname>/Keep-<Number> Maybe,?

I haven't tried looking at the code yet, maybe I should. I was hoping there was already an option to mark one backup out as exceptional. Several people have suggested making a backup elsewhere, but I would like to keep everything on the same system I'm backing up to - I guess I could add another drive for historical backups, but its also handy to have the backuppc frontend to use to look for files. Some have also suggested increasing the number of backups per host, but I don't have the space to do that - the oldest backup I have is 2013, so that would be quite a long history.

Is that possible? I can't find any mention of this in the docs. I don't think it's possible to mark one specific backup to keep, it's not really part of the way BackupPC is designed to work. I would just archive the backup you want to keep to another media.
