Reasonable amount of snapshots

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



Hello,

I read in different places that one should keep amount of snapshots low
- around 15-20. My question - is this limitation on total number of
snapshots on the system or only on related (parent<->child) chain of
snapshots?
What I want to do is the following: create (and then rotate) last 7
daily snapshots (and maybe 4 weekly) for each user in his /home dir. For
around 100 users. So if limitation is only on related snapshots then I'm
OK since only each 7 (or maybe 7+4) of them are related which is well
under the 15-20 limit. However in total there could be 700 snapshots. So
what is true?

Thank you!
