| schestowitz[TR2] | "I should redo the backup method here. It is an incremental backup but because hardlinks are used on the backup destination, only a single copy of each file | Nov 11 00:20 |
|---|---|---|
| schestowitz[TR2] | is ever kept. One way around that is a second drive. Another would be to | Nov 11 00:20 |
| schestowitz[TR2] | do full backups each quarter or even each month, but the time and bandwidth | Nov 11 00:20 |
| schestowitz[TR2] | for that is a lot. Or the files could be copied from an earlier directory | Nov 11 00:20 |
| schestowitz[TR2] | quarterly or montly and *those* used as the hardlink target for the next | Nov 11 00:20 |
| schestowitz[TR2] | backup period. That's a little more tricky if manual intervention is to | Nov 11 00:20 |
| schestowitz[TR2] | be avoided. | Nov 11 00:20 |
| schestowitz[TR2] | date(1) has the --file option and thus a file could be used to hold the | Nov 11 00:20 |
| schestowitz[TR2] | date, month, or quarter of the last full backup. I think that can be used | Nov 11 00:20 |
| schestowitz[TR2] | I'll think on it a bit more. | Nov 11 00:20 |

| schestowitz[TR2] | Debian makes them suicidal? | Nov 11 11:44 |
