The prune command prunes a repository by deleting archives not matching any of
|
|
|
|
|
the specified retention options. This command is normally used by automated
|
|
|
|
|
backup scripts wanting to keep a certain number of historic backups. As an
|
|
|
|
|
example, "-d 7" means to keep the latest backup on each day for 7 days. Days
|
|
|
|
|
without backups do not count towards the total. The rules are applied from
|
|
|
|
|
hourly to yearly, and backups selected by previous rules do not count towards
|
|
|
|
|
those of later rules. Dates and times are interpreted in the local timezone,
|
|
|
|
|
and weeks go from Monday to Sunday. Specifying a negative number of archives
|
|
|
|
|
to keep means that there is no limit. If a prefix is set with -p, then only
|
|
|
|
|
archives that start with the prefix are considered for deletion and only those
|
|
|
|
|
archives count towards the totals specified by the rules.
