Hi, ime new here and have setup a duplicity backup for a owncloud server. so far I have done a full backup and an ruining incremental backups every 30 minutes. I guess whatever I do I will at some point have to have two full backups but would like to avid even this if possible.
So I guess I need to do a full every six months. I think then I need to tell duplicity to delete anything over 6 months old. Or is there a better way of doing it. I am backing up onto a NAS (we have two buildings on the LAN so we are off siting a couple of doors down). The owncloud is sized as 1TB and the backup drive is 3TB (all RAID 1).
I am a little worry about what happens if one of the incrementals gets corrupted. Will the verify command tell me? If it is corrupted will I loose everything or is there a way of recovering some of the backup?
Any help with command like captions would be great. I think I can tell duplicity to delete everything older than 6 months on the incremental backup command line but will have to schedule the full backups with cron. Will duplicity delete the incremental and full backups for me?
