[Rdiff-backup-bugs] [sr #105376] geometric series feature

[anonymous]

Follow-up Comment #4, sr #105376 (project rdiff-backup):

geometrical is not possible in any backup system doing differential
incrementals (and I only know rdiff-backup doing this). It's much easier to do
in a backup system storing full files for the incrementals.
What is wished and doable is to have a keep philosophy.
A rule idea would be:
Delete all backups older than 1 month except fridays & delete all backups
older than 1 year except 1st friday of month.
Result is that you can restore any backup for the last 30 days.
You can also restore backups of fridays for last year (52 backups)
And any backup older than a year done on 1st firday of the month (12
backups/year)
