I see MatatTHC's change made it into 0.10.5. I have the same problem with it like Christopher has: The incremental backups from last week also get purged. The following change makes sbackup to purge logarithmically as expected:
In upgrade_backups.py, line 189 ff.: seenfull = 0 for e in listing: e.endswith( ".ful" ): seenfull += 1 elif seenfull > 1 and e.endswith( ".inc" ): topurge.append( e ) The seenfull counter should be incremented on every '.ful'. After seeing the _second_ full backup in the directory listing, following .inc's are to purge (two weeks old). Incrementals from last week are held. I patched the version 0.10.4 that way and all worked as expected. ** Attachment added: "keep hands off of last weeks incrementals (log purg)" http://launchpadlibrarian.net/15966745/sbackup_0.10.5.diff -- Old backups are not deleted when using ssh-target https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/71698 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
