Okay, this kind of confuses me. I would like to have the following backup strategy:

6 incrementals (*2)
1 weekly (*2)
1 yearly (*1)

Currently,

$Conf{FullKeepCnt} = [ 1, 0, 1, 0, 0, 1 ];

I know this isn't right, but it's not what I would anticipate seeing. For instance, one of my backup targets has:

Backup# Type Filled Level Start Date
 626         full     yes     0    2/21 23:00
 645         full     yes     0    3/15 01:02
 649         incr      no     1    3/19 01:00
 650         incr      no     1    3/20 01:00
 651         incr      no     1    3/21 01:00
 652         full     yes     0    3/22 01:00
 653         incr      no     1    3/23 01:00
 654         incr      no     1    3/24 01:00
 655         incr      no     1    3/25 01:00

incrs between 3/16 and 3/18 are missing because of a power outage and the backuppc filesystem not mounting correctly.

So how should I set up my FullKeepCnt to keep one backup for a year and two sets of fulls/incrementals for the past two weeks?

Thanks,
