Package: storebackup Version: 3.2.1-1 Severity: normal I am trying to understand the effect of --keepRelative on my backups.
I understand that the obvious way to do so is using storeBackupDel with the --doNotDelete option. I start with the example given in the --help printout. However, apparently storeBackupDel fails. If I do not make it read the configuration file, it gives an error which I do not understand: # storeBackupDel -b /backup -S storebackup --doNotDelete --keepRelative '1d 7d 2m 4m' VERSION 2018.03.22 14:38:57 21282 storeBackupDel.pl, 3.2.1, build 362 INFO 2018.03.22 14:38:57 21282 scanning directory </backup/storebackup> for existing backups STATISTIC 2018.03.22 14:38:57 21282 found 1 backup series, 35 backups, 0 renamed backups INFO 2018.03.22 14:38:57 21282 consistency check finished successfully INFO 2018.03.22 14:38:57 21282 found no references to other backups INFO 2018.03.22 14:38:57 21282 removing old lock file of process <19044> ERROR 2018.03.22 14:38:57 21282 illegal parameter for option keepRelative, intervals must be in increasing o\ rder If I give it the configuration files to read, it prints nothing... # storeBackupDel -f /backup/storebackup/tucano.conf --doNotDelete --keepRelative '1d 7d 2m 4m' -- Francesco Potortì (ricercatore) Voice: +39.050.621.3058 ISTI - Area della ricerca CNR Mobile: +39.348.8283.107 via G.
