Forum: Cfengine Help Subject: Re: copy file from A to B only if it is not present in C Author: neilhwatson Link to topic: https://cfengine.com/forum/read.php?3,21342,21355#msg-21355
Option 1: Copy master to first backup with purge. Copy first backup to second backup without purge. This way the last copy always has everything since nothing is purged. This protects from accidental deletion. I would not bother with making the second promise dependent upon the first. On their own the promises are convergent. Option 2: I backup all of my files to a Subversion server. This way I have history and can never permanently delete anything. Regular check-ins are automated. Cfengine could do this via a command promise. _______________________________________________ Help-cfengine mailing list Help-cfengine@cfengine.org https://cfengine.org/mailman/listinfo/help-cfengine
