-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 Hello
is there a way to delete rdiff-files in a time-based period? My scenario is: i am backup a whole storage-container at once. After a few times i have to (successfully) restore my backups i alway mentioned that the files i hardly needed, wasn't in the backup or the backup was to old... so i change to backup the whole container every day. rdiff-backup handles this well. Normally it takes less then 10% disk-space-overhead to keep a daily-history about a 4 month-period. In the last two weeks there was a large file-replacing/merging/editing (all files around one till ten GB) ongoing on the server. So the backup disk-space-overhead jumps up to 25%. But I don't need keeping these changes for the full 4 month, rather then needing the disk-space ;) So my question: is there a way to keep daily-backups for a whole week, followed only weekly diffs till a full month, and than only hold monthly-summarized diffs. I know rdiff-backup doesn't support "summarize/repacking" of diff-files out of the box, can I do this manually without destroying the whole backup-structure? greetings Raptor 2101 -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.4.10 (GNU/Linux) Comment: Using GnuPG with Mozilla - http://enigmail.mozdev.org/ iEYEARECAAYFAkyGEbYACgkQWaFOsSkiiV9wRQCeKyYz7raE20GGybV+CPdSKQIF vVkAoIeAEJLpX+hzkCF3tdwBXJupiPo2 =5KMW -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- _______________________________________________ rdiff-backup-users mailing list at rdiff-backup-users@nongnu.org http://lists.nongnu.org/mailman/listinfo/rdiff-backup-users Wiki URL: http://rdiff-backup.solutionsfirst.com.au/index.php/RdiffBackupWiki
