[BackupPC-users] Rotation question...

[Rob M. <ro...@di...>]

First off thanks for a great application & thanks for all the help i 
have received on this list thus far...
:)

I recently installed BackupPC as i had a server crash and lost some 
clients files.... i was backing up before using the infamous TAR, but 
the external disk that i was using died..... So now i installed BackupPC 
on another server till i get a decent disk array working, i only have 80 
gigs(mirrored) on this server.... so it filled up rather quickly....and 
is at 99% as i write this email....

I want to simply make changes so i can have a 3 day rotation, i want to 
have of course one full backup up and then just 2 days of incremental , 
then start a new full backup and then the 2 day rotation... and of 
course delete the previous 2 day sand full backup...so how would i 
accomplish this? it' a little confusing at the moment as i am too 
stressed to understand the conf file, i do not want o backup nothing by 
mistake!

Also is the only way to delete current backups is by hand?

Thanks once again for all your help!
