Almost exactly what I was planning to configure here Nils, with a couple of minor changes. I was planning on taking 10 weekly backups since you occasionally get 5 week months, and depending on storage capacity, we're also considering annual snapshots.
I quite like Tim's idea of having 31 daily snapshots too. We already have that for some of our data, so it might be easier to just use that globaly. Our policy is likely to be: 15 mins: keep 8 hourly: keep 48 daily: keep 14 (or 31) weekly: keep 10 monthly: keep 24 yearly: keep 10 For a default setup, I would have thought a years worth of data would be enough, something like: 15 mins: keep 8 hourly: keep 48 daily: keep 31 weekly: keep 10 monthly: keep 12 Ross -- This message posted from opensolaris.org _______________________________________________ zfs-discuss mailing list zfs-discuss@opensolaris.org http://mail.opensolaris.org/mailman/listinfo/zfs-discuss
