Title: Affa scheduling and retention
Post by: RonL on June 27, 2008, 11:31:23 PM
My questions are on scheduling and retention of Affa backups, though I suspect these could be new feature requests.

1. How do I keep just daily backup versions, but not weekly, monthly or yearly? Documentation says all keep values must be at least 1. Undesirable workaround I considered was deleting weekly.0, monthly.0 and yearly.0 directories with a postJobCommand.

2. Is it possible to specify day of the week scheduling: for example, so that backups only run on weekdays? Undesirable workaround I considered was manually editing /etc/cron.d/affa.

Thanks to Michael Weinberger for a great backup system. Switching from Rsnapshot to Affa was a no-brainer for my SME systems.
