makes only the hourly interval work correctly.
With the other intervals, the old directories are moved one number
forward, but no new directory is created and nothing is synced.
The first interval in the configuration file is always the one that
get synced from the "backup" sources specified at the bottom of your
configuration file. All the other intervals simply moves the oldest
copy of the interval listed immediately above in the configuration file.
Your configuration below would act like this:
- - The hourly interval would need to run 60 times to create
directories from 0 to .59, incrementing .0 to .1, .1 to .2, and so
forth each time, and then syncing the source to create a new .0
- - The daily interval will work only when hourly.59 is present. It
would first increment the different daily backups ,. daily.0 to daily.
1, .1 to daily.2, etc. and then finally move hourly.59 to daily.0.
- - The weekly interval would first increment the different weekly
backups, weekly.0 to weekly.1, etc. and then move daily.30 to create
a new weekly.0.
- - etc..
In your configuration below, if you're running "rsnapshot hourly"
every hour, setting "hourly 60" means your first daily.0 will hold a
60 hours old backup, daily.1 will hold a 84 hours old backup, and so
forth. The same applies for your daily and weekly: your weekly.0
will hold a 30 days old backup, your weekly.1 37 days old, etc.
