Hello all,
I’m trying to understand how Kopia Retention policy is working in more details.
To make my question below more clear, I will imagine the following example:
Retention Policy:
“daily retention”: “7”, all other policies are set to “0”.
09.09.2024 - backup-daily-1 (22GB)
10.09.2024 - backup-daily-2 (+1GB)
11… - …
12… - …
13… - …
14… - …
15.09.2024 - backup-daily-7 (+1GB)
16.08.2024 - ???
To make this example more precise, I wrote some numbers behind in brackets. These shall represent the size of each backup. Each day new data of 1GB comes on top.
Question(s): What will happen with “backup-daily-1” on the 16.09.2024? What will happen with the content of “backup-daily-1”, since the data still is in the source folder (which shall be backup’ed).
In case “backup-daily-1” is going to be deleted, will there be a check upfront, if the data is the same as it is on the source folder? Means, not the whole package need to be uploaded again?
thanks in advance!
Rob
