Backup Central

Hello and sorry if this is a stupid question but I want be sure

I'd like have 2 backups every days and keep it for 12 (or 24) months

I use debian6 with rsnapshot 1.3.1 and I do:

#interval hourly 1

interval daily 2
interval weekly 1
interval monthly 12 (for 1 year) or 24 (for 2 years)

is it correct?

thanks!

Pol

If you do your crontab in the right way and start today, IMHO you will have
on 1.1.12 two daylies from 1.1.12 and 31.12.11, one weekly from 25.12.11
and six monthlies from 4.12.11, 6.11.11, 2.10.11, 4.9.11, 7.8.11 and
3.7.11.

Please correct, if I'm wrong.

it's correct

After long search..

only this:

interval halfday 3650 (2 by days for 5 years)

A question: after first backup, next backup will be only the difference
from first? (incremental backup or no?) if no, how can I do it?

You will see two full backups, but all the unchanged files of the next
backup are hardlinked to the files of the first backup, so they will need
no additional space.
