Hi,

Some of backupninja's backups are already rotated (dpkg.status and
aptitude.pkgstates, for example), while others only maintain a single
backup. It would be most helpful if all backup mechanisms supported
rotating backups, and even better if this could be centrally configured
(even if individual backup types could override it).

Hello,

I’m not sure to understand what you want to achieve. The « usual » way
to use backupninja is :
  1. have mysql, svn, ldap, etc. handlers write backups to a local
     directory
  2. have rdiff or dup handler upload them to a remote location
     incrementaly

Do you want to rotate the first step’s results, instead of using an
incremental backup tool such as rdiff-backup ? Or do you want to do
something else ?

Bye,

It sounds like you understand what I want. But I'm perfectly happy
with the answer "use rdiff-backup for that".
