Ok - then you need in this special case two "rollbacks". A
very simple script may do the job.
- delete (or first rename) daily.0
- renumber daily.1 to daily.x
- if first renamed: delete
|
to make sure i'm understanding, your above example is
describing the following:
daily.0 -> delete
daily.1 -> delete
daily.2 -> rename to daily.0
daily.3 -> rename to daily.1
daily.4 -> rename to daily.2
daily.5 -> rename to daily.3
correct?

Yes, that looks good to me.
(You would also want to rename daily.6 -> daily.4 if you have daily.6.)
If you wanted to you could rename daily.0 and daily.1 to something
different (not daily.?) and delete them later at your leisure.
For example, if you wanted to double check that rsnapshot has
not run since you started looking at this issue (if it did, then
those directories may have been rotated since you last looked).

question? did you see his post?

Hallo, David,
Du meintest am 28.01.10:
| Quote: | i'm realizing that i have not understood some of the nuances
of rsnapshot's managemant of hardlinks.
|
No - I describe either a scriptable solution or a (one time) manually
solution.
There's no relation to hardlinks.
Do you want an academical dispute or a technical solution?
Viele Gruesse!
Helmut

i understand now. sorry for my confusion, i was
misunderstanding why you were offering two solutions.
for now i think a manual solution will be adequate,
