[BackupPC-users] Erasing backups in the middle of a Full Keep Count chain (Problem?)

2008-09-12 Thread Steen Eugen Poulsen
Perhaps it should be documented that "Full Keep Count" system needs
perfect backup day overlap or it's backups in the middle of a keep chain
gets erased.

Full Period 6.97
Full Keep Count 4, 0, 1, 0, 1, 1

4 pr. week  (7 days, 28 days in total)
0 pr. 2 weeks   (14 days)
1 pr. 4 weeks   (28 days)
0 pr. 8 weeks   (56 days)
1 pr. 16 weeks  (112 days)
1 pr. 32 weeks  (224 days)

32 weeks
30   fullyes 0   27/9 03:00  272.7   351.4  

16 weeks
254 fullyes 0   11/5 21:00  144.5   123.7   

4 weeks
338 fullyes 0   3/8 23:00   114.5   39.6

377 incrno  4   12/9 06:00  26.30.3 


The oldest backup is pretty far away from the half a year I expected.

So in a few days we make another full backup.

1of4 becomes 4 weeks

4 weeks is at 4x days not matching 112 days so is erased?

Not until 16 weeks reach 32 weeks and gets promoted to 32, do I get 4
weeks promoted to 16.

If I had gone with a system stopping at 16 weeks, I would only get the
very first backup ever made retained as 16 weeks.


I had to sit down with crayons and cardboard and draw myself a pretty
picture before I got clued in, Full Keep Count is complicated and if
it's mentioned it will erase backups in the middle of the Full Keep
Count chain, then I missed it.

You can use cron to schedule anything. Just stick the command you run  
manually in a cronjob.

[BackupPC-users] archive schedule

2008-09-12 Thread Aitor Carrera
Hi! I have backuppc configured and running, backing up every production
server. the backups where storage in a backup server and, periodically, I
run manually an archive to tape drive. I'm tring to schelude the archive but
i'm not able to find documentation about that. Backuppc can't schelude
archives?

thanks
