show configuration doesn't mention about ROTATE variables

[Bartosz Fenski]

Launching `bashup -s` doesn't show anything about ROTATE* variables.
It's mentioned only in few examples and it's really hard to create working configuration basing on that.

Here goes my config:

SOURCE=mysqldump
MYSQL_USER=root
MYSQL_PASS=xxxx
FILTER="bzip2 gpg_symmetric"
DESTINATION=ftp_file
FTP_HOST=xx.xx.xx.xx
CURL_OPTIONS="-u centrumdruku:Ohk9Ohng8I"
GPG_PROGRAM=/usr/bin/gpg
GPG_PASSPHRASE=xxxx
FILE=piwik-%Y-%m-%d_%H:%M.tar.bz2.gpg
FILES_TO_KEEP=5
ROTATE_ACCESS=ftp
ROTATE_LOCATION=${FILE}
USE_REPORTERS="console log"
COMBINED_LOG=combined.log
ERROR_LOG=error.log

Is there any way to keep only last 5 backups in such case?

Great... another password to change ;)

Hi,

you want to keep the five last numbered backups - like .1 .2 .3 .4 .5 - right?

Best.

Not exacly. I would like to keep simply 5 last backups. I don't care wether they're going to be numbered.

Preferably would be nice to keep them like that:

piwik-2010-12-10_04:10.tar.bz2.gpg
piwik-2010-12-11_04:10.tar.bz2.gpg
piwik-2010-12-12_04:10.tar.bz2.gpg
piwik-2010-12-13_04:10.tar.bz2.gpg
piwik-2010-12-14_04:10.tar.bz2.gpg

Hey,

your ROTATE_LOCATION has to match all Files, that are included in the rotation. You are currently only referring to the current file. So you need to use make of a "*" somewhere in the descriptor.

This is an example for a normal numbered ROTATE_LOCATION:

ROTATE_LOCATION="${FILE}.*"

Best,
