Hi, 

I have a situation where I need a 'strict' backup schedule. 

Our accounting data must be backed up daily, with weekly fulls on Friday and 
Monthly fulls on the last day of the month. Have mid-week and every 4 week 
fulls could mean we lose data. For example, if BackupPC does a weekly full on 
December 29, that means the next weekly full is January 5th. When the dailies 
get expired, it would be impossible for us to restore the last 2 days of 
December. 

In this particular case, we need a backup that is calendar driven, and not 
driven by BackupPC's concept of 7 days weeks, 4 weeks in a month, etc. 

My current backup is: 

$Conf{FullKeepCnt} = [4, 0, 13, 0, 0, 100]; 

How can I change that (coupled with cron, I assume) so that at the end of the 
year, I have 12 monthly backups, all on the last day of the month, and the 
yearly on the last day of the year? 

I really never thought BackupPC's concept of days/weeks/months would be a 
problem, but now that I think of it, it can be.

Gerald
