Comment on How long do you keep your backups?
hubertmanne@piefed.social@piefed.social 4 days ago came to say something like this but not sure why you would do daily for 10 days. Your doing weeklys so why not 7. I would rather increase the monthly to 7 or do 6 bi monthly and keep a yearly.

They are all daily backups, those schedules I pointed out are for pruning. And I don’t understand the question… How would keeping 7 instead of 10 dailies help me?
because your last weekly would be a max of 7 days out

How am I going to restore day 8, day 9, or day 10 backups if I only keep 7 days?

How do you restore on day 11, 12 or 13 if you only keep 10 days?
look im not that committed to a different scheme. Just seems to me once you get to a week and do a weekly you are good on days. heck I would do 6 daily ones and have the weekly one just be the 7th day of the week. free up yet another deep backup.
