backup (duplicity) question regarding full/incremental

[albert]

Hi Johannes,

is there a way to set up the backup, using the webinterface, were I have a full backup once a week, then an incremental for the rest of the week. And leave those backups for the rest of the year (or a month, a week, whatever).

How do I do this?

Thanks,

Albert

Hi Albert,
We have "minimized" the alternatives to make the backup function easier to manage. Therefor you are not able to set your backup to run as you describe. But it is of course possible to edit the config file to make it run as you like.

Do like this:
1. Create a backupjob: run every day with a one year time line.
2. Log in using SSH
3. Edit the file /home/admin/.backup/mybackup/jobdata
4. Change the parameter "nbr_fullbackups" to 52 :

Code: Select all

local_user = admin
jobname = mybackup
target_protocol = ftp
target_host = test
target_user = test
target_FTPpasswd = test
target_path =
schedule_type = daily
schedule_monthday = 1
schedule_monthhour = 1
schedule_weekday = Monday
schedule_weekhour = 1
schedule_dayhour = 1
nbr_fullbackups = 52
full_expiretime = 1Y
selection_type = data

4. Save the file.
