[BackupPC-users] Avoid doing backups on specific weekday

[Nicolai N. R. <nr...@co...>]

I'm using Erik Meitner's "arch2usb" script to take a weekly dump of the lat=
est full backups, and put them on a removable USB disk for off-siting.

As my data is constantly increasing, it takes quite some time to do a full =
data-dump (around 12 hours for 200gb data).
- I have no idea if this is reasonable, or if it's too slow, but so far I'm=
 just happy to have the archiving automated.

It also takes quite a long time to do an incremental backup of one of my se=
rvers, as it's got a shitload of files.
To avoid that a new backup is started, while the archive script is running,=
 I would like to excempt SUNDAYS from being a
"backup day". As data wont have changed that much from saturday to sunday a=
nyway, I dont really care about doing a backup on sundays.=20
However, I've managed to split my full backups over two days (friday and sa=
turday) and I dont want these
days to be pushed, because I dont backup on sundays.=20
- I thought of using the $Conf{BlackoutPeriods} to simply define the whole =
sunday as a blackout period, but I'm afraid the
incremental backup would then just be pushed to run monday instead?

Is it possible to do it any other way? - I can live with having only 5 incr=
emental backups of my hosts each week.

Thanks for a great piece of software! - Saved my ass a couple of times c",)
