And when this setting changes without us noticing until the backup is overwritten, it overwrites something that is supposed to be append only. Seems simpler to write to Graphite and something else in addition. But if you really want to backup from Graphite, I guess you could keep infinite backup copies to prevent this. Then one also needs to make sure to run the backup each time after we write new data to Graphite.
