INCS CONFIGURATION

Located by default in /etc/evobackup/, each incl.tpl file is named after the EvoBackup for which the rules it contains must apply.

The rules it defines decide which incremental backups are kept when running bkctl rm

Each line defines a single rule. The first part of the rule describes when the backup was taken, the second part decides how long to keep it. Lines beginning with the # character are comments and are ignored. The order of the rules does not matter.

Evobackups that do not have their nominal incl.tpl file use the default rules defined in /usr/share/bkctld/inc.tpl

Keep today's backup:

+%Y-%m-%d.-0day

Keep yesterday's backup:

+%Y-%m-%d.-1day

Keep the first day of this month:

+%Y-%m-01.-0month

Keep the first day of last month:

+%Y-%m-01.-1month

Keep backups for every 15 days:

+%Y-%m-01.-1month
+%Y-%m-15.-1month

Keep a backup of the first day of january:

+%Y-01-01.-1month

+%Y-%m-%d.-0day
+%Y-%m-%d.-1day
