Option for check of minimum age of oldest full backup #28

Closed gnullme closed 2 years ago

gnullme commented 2 years ago

It would be nice to have an option similar to --retention-age-to-full for defining the minimum age of the oldest full backup.

This way one could check that a required time period for PITR is met.

Example: One full backup is created every week and the retention in pgBackRest is set to 4 weeks. Currently I can only set a limit for the age of the newest full backup. If I want to make sure, that at least 4 weeks of PITR are covered, I also need to check that the oldest full backup is at least 4 weeks old.

Hi,

Sorry about the late answer.

The retention service has first been created to make sure pgBR expires enough old backups but the option you suggest also seems interesting.

I've added it in 69a2edf. Feel free to try it to make sure it match your expectation before the next release.

Have a good day, Kind Regards, Stefan
