May I ask what your settings are to achieve that retention rate?
there's a lot of settings... but these are probably applicable...
Main Config: Schedule: FullPeriod: 27.9 FullKeepCnt: 24 FullKeepCntMin: 8 FullAgeMax: 360 IncrPeriod: 0.97 IncrKeepCnt: 30 IncrKeepMin: 1 IncrAgeMax: 30 IncrLevels: 1
on a few hosts where dailies are not appropriate due to how long they take, I override to do weekly incrementals instead
Schedule: FullPeriod: 89.6 FullKeepCnt: 2 FullKeepCntMin: 2 IncrPeriod: 6.97 IncrKeepCnt: 15 IncrAgeMax: 100
many of those are probably defaults, but I didn't keep track which ones I modified
another thing, many of my servers are SQL database servers (mostly postgresql and oracle). I do NOT backup the sql data file systems directly with backuppc, instead, I have the SQL do archiving or scheduled dumps, and I backup those archive and dump destinations...
Thanks, very much appreciated!
I'll play around with the settings a bit more, but yours is a good starter.
Thanks again!
