Hello BackupPC users,
(This is my first post here, please be kind if I do not follow rules.
Feel free to redirect me to accurate information and behavior.)
At my company, we use BackupPC for years now.
We have migrated our servers from BackupPC 3 to BackupPC 4 on Debian 12.
Is there any "good practice" to migrate from full/incremental backups to
"infinite incrementals" ?
Currently, each host configuration file is modified, to add following
block in /etc/backuppc/<hostname>.pl file:
$Conf{FillCycle} = 7;
$Conf{FullPeriod} = 119;
Following lines are in /etc/backupp/config.pl file:
$Conf{FullPeriod} = '6.97';
$Conf{IncrPeriod} = '0.97';
$Conf{FillCycle} = 0;
$Conf{FullKeepCntMin} = 1;
With nothing bad seen so far, I wonder if I can directly change
following values in /etc/backupp/config.pl file and restart BackupPC:
$Conf{FillCycle} = 7;
$Conf{FullPeriod} = 119;
And voilà !
(all my full/incremental hosts will do "infinite incrementals" backups)
Besides migration itself, is there any bad experience in using only
incremental backups (or any known incompatible application) ?
Thanks for any hint you will share.
Regards
