Its main purpose is to keep a set of daily-created -backup files in manageable size, while still providing reasonable -access to older versions. Specifying a size, file number, or age -constraint will simply remove files starting from the oldest, until -the constraint is met. The distribution specification (exponential, -Gaussian (normal), or Fibonacci) provides finer control of the files -to delete, allowing the retention of recent copies and the increasingly -aggressive pruning of the older files. The retention schedule -specifies the age intervals for which files will be retained. As -an example, an exponential retention schedule for 10 files with a -base of 2 will be - -1 2 4 8 16 32 64 128 256 512 1024 - -The above schedule specifies that for the interval of 65 to 128 -days there should be (at least) one retained file (unless constraints -and options override this setting). - - -WWW: http://www.spinellis.gr/sw/unix/prune - -- Diomidis Spinellis dds@aueb.gr |
