Ok, I already got an error by mail this moring: == warnings from /etc/backup.d/10.target.rsync == Info: Rotating /media/Backup/target.rsync///... Warning: /media/Backup/target.rsync///daily.1 already exists. Overwriting contents. Info: Syncing / on /media/Backup/target.rsync///daily.1/... and indeed, it did: # ls -l .. total 36 drwxr-xr-x 19 root root 4096 Jan 27 01:07 daily.1/ drwxr-xr-x 19 root root 4096 Jan 25 01:08 daily.2/ drwxr-xr-x 19 root root 4096 Jan 18 03:07 daily.3/ So the backup of Thu 26 Jan 2012 03:17:29 CET is gone. FYI also the metadata: # for x in */*; do echo -n "$x: "; head -1 $x; done daily.1/created: Fri 27 Jan 2012 01:07:56 CET daily.2/created: Wed 25 Jan 2012 01:08:24 CET daily.2/rotated: Wed 25 Jan 2012 10:09:13 CET daily.3/rotated: Wed 25 Jan 2012 10:09:13 CET daily.4/rotated: Wed 25 Jan 2012 10:09:13 CET daily.5/rotated: Wed 25 Jan 2012 10:09:13 CET daily.6/rotated: Wed 25 Jan 2012 10:09:13 CET daily.7/rotated: Wed 25 Jan 2012 10:09:13 CET weekly.2/rotated: Thu 26 Jan 2012 03:13:19 CET Probably it though 26 Jan 03:17 was not 24 hours away and thus it replaced the backup. But say one has a monotonously growing backup, then the backup takes slightly longer each night and thus the script will always conclude it has not been over 24h and it always replaces the backup.
