[Bobs-devel] Incremental backups with smb?

[<j.m...@st...>]

Hi folks,

I have setup bobs so far and it works beautifully and I really =
appreciate it.
You guys have done a great job..... ;o)

I still have 2 questions remaining:

1. when using smb as backup method, are incremental backups really done?
   Or are they just in the incremental folder and it differs to rsync?

2.When I edit the amount of incremental times in the admin area e.g. =
with 10
   Does that mean, the system makes a full backup once, then 10 =
incremental
   backup and then a full backup again.

3.I'm running a backup to a harddisk which is slightly bigger, than the =
source
   harddisk.=20
   Is there a possibility to drop old backups after a certain time ?

Thanks for your help

P.S. I'm using bobs (although not really recommended) on single machine
       with smb (for backup and restore -> localhost ) and it works =
soft.

Cheers
