Re: [BackupPC-users] how many increment levels can i use / how to schedule backups for last day of month

[dan <dan...@gm...>]

yes, but this doesnt choose to backup on the last day of the month.  i
wish cron could do a:
0 13 * * lastday command
instead i did a script
0 13 * * * if [ `date +%d -d tomorrow` = 01 ]; then /././BackupPC_dump
-f host; fi

that if is saying if tomorrow's date is the first, then today is the
last day of the month so do a full backup.

would it be better to use BackupPC_serverMesg rather than BackupPC_dump -f ?
