I'm new to BackupPC. I've been through most of the documentation and about 9 months of list archives.

 

The question of restricting full backups to the weekends has come up a few times and I'm just wondering why the current blackouts can't be enhanced to provide two blackout schedules, one for incrementals and one for fulls. Would this solve the problem?

 

I've also seen a couple of useful scripts (BackupPC_copyPcPool.pl, BackupPc_deleteFile.pl) and a jLib.pm but I haven't seen any documentation about how and where to install these files. Could someone point me in the right direction?

 

One last question, I'm currently in evaluation mode to determine if this is the right solution for us (I also have to determine how to handle an offsite rotation). I've already filled up my root file system once and I may have under allocated a second drive (I'm running in a Hyper-V virtual machine). I've seen lots of documentation and discussion about how to copy the pool but nothing on how to just erase the pool and start over. Can someone describe how to "start over"?

 

Regards,

 

Brad
