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.
