satish kumar gave more information on the question: Hi Edso, Your correct, we would like to store at all times 2 weeks of full backups and incremental at anyone time ( This would be my acutal setup ) But this would require us to wait for 2 weeks to get the results. Instead of waiting for weeks, I thought of making the test setup with 4 full backup and 1 incremental with : 30 , 5, 15 # Time frame for old backups to keep, Used for the "purge" command. # see duplicity man page, chapter TIME_FORMATS) # defaults to 1M, if not set MAX_AGE=30m # Number of full backups to keep. Used for the "purge-full" command. # See duplicity man page, action "remove-all-but-n-full". # defaults to 1, if not set MAX_FULL_BACKUPS=5 # activates duplicity --full-if-older-than option (since duplicity v0.4.4.RC3) # forces a full backup if last full backup reaches a specified age, for the # format of MAX_FULLBKP_AGE see duplicity man page, chapter TIME_FORMATS # Uncomment the following two lines to enable this setting. MAX_FULLBKP_AGE=15m DUPL_PARAMS="$DUPL_PARAMS --full-if-older-than $MAX_FULLBKP_AGE " Crontab entry : */5 * * * * env HOME=/root duply test backup_verify_purge-full --force If this is successfull I would change the value in my actaul setup. Basically we would need 4 full backup and one incremental.
