Hello,
im having trouble with number of dump files. I have custom script for making daily(3), weekly(1) and monthly(1) backups. But im getting daily(4), weekly(2) and monthly(2) backups. Here is my script and vzdump.cron
Is there a logical problem with my configuration which i dont see? I found nothing wrong in logs.
There is over 100VM, backups are starting at 10:45PM and running aprox to 5:00AM. But im assuming that maxfile mechanism is basicaly counting number of files and does not depend on timestamp.
