Package: backup-manager
Version: 0.7.9-4
Severity: normal
Tags: patch
Hi,
I had configured backup-manager to do incremental backups with a full backup
on the 23th of each month. I noticed that this did not work because
backup-manager:
- expects the value to be between 0 and 6 (this is only reasonable for
weekly
backups)
- tries to fix this by setting the value to 0 (which also only works for
weekly backups)
Here is the relevant configuration which did not work
# Which frequency to use for the master tarball?
# possible values: weekly, monthly
export BM_TARBALLINC_MASTERDATETYPE="monthly"
# Number of the day, in the BM_TARBALLINC_MASTERDATETYPE frequency
# when master tarballs should be made
export BM_TARBALLINC_MASTERDATEVALUE="23"
And here is a small patch which adjusts the limits for monthly backups
