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...
