I don't understand your question. If you manually start a backup then the following automatic backups will be separated by $Conf{FullPeriod} and $Conf{IncrPeriod}. > Is it possible to define the backups by days of the week, for instance, > Saturday Full, Sunday - Inc, and so on ? No, that is not currently supported. You could add an entry to start a full backup once per week via crontab that runs this command: /usr/local/BackupPC/bin/BackupPC_serverMesg backup HOST HOST USER 1 where HOST is the host name and USER is the user name (1 means full). That will start a full at the time you want and the incrementals will automatically follow. Craig |

Is it possible? No. Manually started backups count towards the scheduling. As I mentioned you can use crontab to start a full backup on a specific day/time, which will reset the full dump time.

Ok I'll try to explain myself better this time: If I make an extra backup between the $Conf{FullPeriod} = 6.97; the next full backup it be made counting from the extra backup forward. What I want is to make an extra backup and don't interfere with the normal backup schedule. Is it possible? Thank you for your help. Best Regards rech |
