rotation counter seems to keep too many versions

[Caspar Clemens Mierau]

On several systems I encountered the following problem: While using

FILES_TO_KEEP=3
ROTATE_ACCESS=debug
ROTATE_ACCESS_METHOD=local
ROTATE_KEEP=keep_numbered
ROTATE_MOVE=move_numbered

I observed, bashup rotates files like

xyz.bz2
xyz.bz2.001
xyz.bz2.002
xyz.bz2.003
xyz.bz2.004

This equals to four if not five files to me and is at least one file more than configured.

Hi,

did you provide a "ROTATE_LOCATION"?

Try adding the following:

ROTATE_LOCATION="xyz,bz2.*"

Best,

ccm.

On several systems I encountered the following problem: While using

BACKUP_DEST_BASE=/root
USE_REPORTERS="console log"
COMBINED_LOG=combined.log
ERROR_LOG=error.log
FILTER=gzip
DESTINATION=file
FILES_TO_KEEP=1
ROTATE_ACCESS=debug
ROTATE_ACCESS_METHOD=local
ROTATE_KEEP=keep_numbered
ROTATE_MOVE=move_numbered
SOURCE=tree
TREE_DIRECTORIES="/var/www"
FILE=${BACKUP_DEST_BASE}/tree/www.tar.gz
ROTATE_LOCATION="${FILE}.*"

I observed, bashup rotates files like

www.tar.gz
www.tar.gz.001
www.tar.gz.002

This equals to two if not three files to me and is at least one file more than configured.
