Subject: [gentoo-user] Hows this for rsnapshot cron jobs?
Date: Sun, 21 Apr 2013 14:47:56 -0400 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <5174345C.9080304@libertytrek.org> (raw)
Ok, my goal is to keep 3 'snapshots' per day (11:30am, 2:30pm and
5:30pm), 7 daily's (8:50pm), 4 weekly's (8:40pm), 12 monthly's (8:30pm),
and 5 yearly's (8:20pm).
My myhost1.conf has:
interval hourly 3
interval daily 7
interval weekly 4
interval monthly 12
interval yearly 5
And my /etc/crontab now looks like:
> # for vixie cron
> # $Header: /var/cvsroot/gentoo-x86/sys-process/vixie-cron/files/crontab-3.0.1-r4,v 1.3 2011/09/20 15:13:51 idl0r Exp $

Does this look right?
Thanks
