Hi,

I wrote a script in bash to take care of deleting old backup.  It keeps 
yearlys for 5 years,  monthlys for a year, and weeklys for 5 weeks.  Its 
not great (has some issues), but has been working for me for a long 
time.  I should clean it up and release it.

I set BackupPC to pretty much never expire fulls, and let my script deal 
with it.

Gerald

Want excitement?
Manually upgrade your production database.
When you want reliability, choose Perforce.
Perforce version control. Predictably reliable.
