Sorry to keep bothering you. It looks like it’s doing full backups and incremental backups daily.
Again I’m just trying to do a full back say on Saturday then incremental backups during the week, another full backup on Saturday then incremental during the week and then the following Saturday start overwriting. so that would be 2 full backups and 12 incremental then overwrite.
Yes, it does. Keep in mind that normal backups are always full backups, and incremental backups are not related to those full backups in any way.
If you want to do only two normal full backups on Saturdays, you should edit the cronjob and modify it to execute only on Saturdays.
Before:
10 05 * * * sudo /usr/local/hestia/bin/v-backup-users
After:
10 05 * * 6 sudo /usr/local/hestia/bin/v-backup-users
As you only want 2, you must edit the package used by the user and limit the backups to 2.
I wouldn’t touch the incremental backups because they are not related to the normal full backups. Incremental backups are also “full” backups, so I wouldn’t restrict them to specific days.
Great!, just remember to edit the package or packages used by your users to limit the local backups to 2.
