Ok, I read user manual too…I’m using backuppc since 2 year…
What I’m looking for is a schedule settings to optimize my needs.
Now I take too disk space and I’m looking for a setting to decrease that.
I’m not sure to understand very well the exponential function over incremental and full backup…and other things…
If anyone has a good schedule setting, please post it J
Thx
Vitello

Hi,
I’m writing because I need help to set up backup schedule.
I have 8 pc and I would made a full backup every month (for example at first of every month) and an incremental backup in days remaining.
I’ve planned to store one-year backup on hard-disk and replace it with a new one every year.
BackupPC guide well explains schedule and retention/expiration settings.
Configuration parameters you need to work on are:
$Conf{FullPeriod} - Minimum period in days between full backups
$Conf{IncrPeriod} - Minimum period in days between incremental backups
$Conf{FullKeepCnt} - Number of full backups to keep (Exponential backup expiry is also supported)
Hope this helps you.
Regards
M
