Try to read the documentations for "IncrLevels",
I think it will be much easyer for you to understand the deal about incrementals...

...Level 1 incremental, will back up all the files that changed since the last full.

Ok I understand now for Full backup but with incremental I have :

In CGI of BackupPC :
FullPeriod : 7
FullKeepCnt : 2
IncrPeriod  : 1
IncrKeepCnt : 8

9 - Full - 26/3
10 - DELETE by NightlyDaemon: incremental - 29/3
11 - incremental - 30/3
12 - incremental - 31/3
13 - incremental - 1/4
14 - Full - 2/4
15 - incremental - 4/4
16 - incremental - 5/4
17 - incremental - 6/4
18 - incremental - 7/4
19 - incremental - 8/4

In this anormal case incremental of 29/3 has been deleted. Also incrementals of 30/3 to 1/4 not run ??

Thanks.

Hello,

I need some help about incremental and full backup in BackupPC.

Imagine this :
Full max : 2
Incremental max : 8

09/04/2010 : Full
- weekend -
12/04/2010 : Incremental
13/04/2010 : Incremental
14/04/2010 : Incremental
15/04/2010 : Incremental
16/04/2010 : Full
- weekend -
19/04/2010 : Incremental
20/04/2010 : Incremental
21/04/2010 : Incremental
22/04/2010 : Incremental
23/04/2010 : Full
- weekend -

But if I have 2 Full max, the full on 09/04/2010 is delete and incrementals
 of 12/04/2010 to 15/04/2010 their unusable ? If the  incremental backup of
 19/04/2010 have a problem, incrementals of 20/04/2010 to 22/04/2010 their
 unusable ?
      
Doesn't work like that.

A full backup is kept as long as any incremental backup depends on it. This is 
no matter what you have "Full Max" set to. So the full of 09/04/2010 would be 
kept until the incrememtal backup of 16/04/2010 is deleted.

Then both the full of 09/04/2010 and the incremental of 16/04/2010 would be 
deleted together.

Tony
    
Thanks for your responses.
