I have a question concerning the default expiration strategy, which is:
"1:1 30:7 365:30"
"Which means:
After 1 day, keep one backup every 1 day (1:1).
After 30 days, keep one backup every 7 days (30:7).
After 365 days, keep one backup every 30 days (365:30)."
Concerning the first "1:1" strategy ratio: if, for example, for a passed day, I have 10 backup folders for that day, which backup folder will be keep once a new backup is invoked? It is the first one, the latest one, or another else within that day? I noticed that it is the first backup (within that day) the one that will be keep.
There is a way to change this beaviour and impose to keep the latest backup folder within a (previous) day?
I am using the following command with these option:
