As if it would be especially desirable to preserve backups that may have failed before being completed indefinitely. I suggest that we don't do this. We can select files for deletion with the `find' command. We can use the modification time instead of the date in the filename. These should normally be the same. We can also use a stricter pattern for matching files to avoid deleting files that have not been created by the backup script. For instance: find $backupdir -maxdepth 1 \( -mtime +$days -or -mtime $days \) \ -name $name-'[1-9][0-9][0-9][0-9]-[0-9][0-9]-[0-9][0-9].???'.gz \ \( -name \*.sql.gz -or -name \*.tar.gz \) -print0 | xargs -0 -r rm -- You are receiving this mail because: You are watching all bug changes.
