wouldn't it be possible to do this with the exponential backup expiry
like this:
$Conf{FullPeriod} = 6,97
$Conf{IncPeriod} = 0,97
$Conf{FullKeepCnt} = [4,0,12,0,0,0,10]
Would that give me:
daily incrementals for a week,
4 weeks of full backups (1 full each week),
12 months (4*12 weeks) of full backups ( 1 full of each month),
~10 years (10*64 of backups ( 1 full of each year)
Can anyone clarify this for me?
Was there ever a conclusion to this, or did I miss it?
That looks pretty conclusive to me. What needs to be clarified.
Exactly that. Thank you.

[4,0,12,0,0,0,10]
4 backups at 1 week
0 backups at 2 weeks
12 backups at 4 weeks
0 backups at 8 weeks
0 backups at 16 weeks
0 backups at 32 weeks
10 backups at 64 weeks
The monthly backups are actually slightly less than a month. If you
want a full year, you should do 13 of them.
The yearly backups at 64 weeks are actually about 14.7 months apart, so
they're not quite yearly. You could increase the number of monthly
backups if you want full coverage or switch to 32-week backups instead.
Keep in mind that due to pooling, backups do not take up nearly as much
space as you expect (only enough to account for the changed files), so
you will be able to keep many more backups than you think you can.

[BackupPC-users] Easiest way to delete test backups?
Hi, I'm fairly new to Linux, and brand new to BackupPC (I've dealt with Netbackup/BackupExec/Commvault in the past in mostly Windows centric environments) - I've recently installed it and started generating some test backups so I can work out any issues, and so far so good. However, these are not backup jobs that I would like to keep, I don't see an easy way to delete them through the web interface, so what's the easiest solution (without screwing anything up)? +-- |This was sent by ph...@hotmail.com via Backup Central. |Forward SPAM to ab...@backupcentral.com. +-- -- Meet PCI DSS 3.0 Compliance Requirements with EventLog Analyzer Achieve PCI DSS 3.0 Compliant Status with Out-of-the-box PCI DSS Reports Are you Audit-Ready for PCI DSS 3.0 Compliance?

If you are going to continue to back up the same content, you won't gain much by deleting the test runs since the files are all pooled. However, you can simply delete a host's entry under the 'pc' directory and delete the host from the backuppc configuration if you no longer want that target. Any pooled files not shared by remaining backups will be removed when BackupPC_Nightly runs cleaning out the pool files where the link count has gone down to 1. -- Les Mikesell lesmikes...@gmail.com -- Meet PCI DSS 3.0 Compliance Requirements with EventLog Analyzer Achieve PCI DSS 3.0 Compliant Status with Out-of-the-box PCI DSS Reports Are you Audit-Ready for PCI DSS 3.0 Compliance?
