Re: [Duplicity-talk] Backup plan daily weekly monthly

[James Corteciano]

Hi Guys,

Anyone could share your thoughts if these approach can possibly be done in duplicity?

I am trying to achieve keeping backups on this kind of normal way. 

Daily = 14 days to keep - incremental - schedule (Sun-Thu)

Weekly=8 weeks to keep - full - schedule (every Friday)

Monthly=6 months to keep. - full - schedule (every last friday of the month).

Looking forward to hear your advise.

Thanks.

James

Hi,

These are my backup plans:

Daily = Triggered from Sunday to Thursday.

Weekly = Triggered every Friday

Monthly = Triggered every last Friday of the month.

I have bash script to accomplish this scheduling with cron jobs.

Currently, my settings are:

Daily = Incremental backup = 14 days retention period

Weekly = Full backup = 8 weeks retention period

Monthly = Full backup = 6 months retention period

I am just a bit confuse on how can I accomplish this backup plan approach when it comes in retention period.

Basically, I have created to backup profile:

1) Backup-daily_weekly/conf:

.....

MAX_FULLS_WITH_INCRS=14

MAX_FULL_BACKUPS=8

2.) Backup-monthly/conf:

.....

MAX_FULL_BACKUPS=6

I would like to check with you if the above backup settings are good enough or if you have advise I would appreciate it.

Thank you.
