Backupset daily.1 always being overwritten
Jason Collison (collison.1 at osu.edu) reported me the following issue:
I have been having difficulty getting backupninja to properly use the rsync method. Can you problem shoot this? Basically, the backup process itself seems to work fine, but the rotation process seems to not work. For example, if I'm bacting up /etc, things start of okay, I will get a backup in /backup/etc, but after ~3 days, I start getting warkings that /backup/etc/daily.1 is going to be overwritten, and I never get more than 3 daily backups even though I have specified 7. I also never get any weekly backups or monthly backups even though I have those specified to. Here is what my configuration looks like: [general] mountpoint = /mnt/backup backupdir = spirit format = long keepdaily = 7 keepweekly = 2 keepmonthly = 6 [source] from = remote host = spirit user = root testconnect = no protocol = ssh include = boot include = etc include = home include = root include = var I'm running gentoo with backupninja version 0.9.7 (the only version currently in the portage tree). I have upgraded the rsync helper file to version 0.9.8.1 hoping that would resolve the issue.
