Howdy all,
I have a problem that's got me stumped. The idea is to run a db full dbbackup
every day, but how do I scratch the previous db backups? The manual says to
move drm to the vault, & then check them backup in (excluding the requirement
for the drmdbbackupexpire & except the most recent db backup). This is not
something that lends itself easily to automation. Frankly it'd be a pain to
perform this everyday. Using the 12 stacker just delays the problem.
I'm looking for a sleeper of a solution.
Any ideas?
