The amount of data I am dealing with is about 100GB and even though the backups get compressed well they are still 10-20GB each. I setup a specific config file to only keep 3 daily and 1 weekly backup. It is still trying to load config file as optional and running 6 daily backups and more than 1 weekly. I captured the cron to a log file and here is what it says.

Using "/etc/automysqlbackup/vsapps231.conf" as optional config file.

MySQL backup method invoked.

# Checking for permissions to write to folders:
base folder /var ... exists ... ok.
backup folder /var/mysqlbackup ... exists ... writable? yes. Proceeding.

How do I get it to use the specified file and options I chose?

Server info: RHEL6.4 and using the latest version of automysqlbackup.
