NAME

App::Rsnapshot::Rotate - rotate snapshots

SYNOPSIS

# rotate the 'alpha' interval
App::Rsnapshot::Rotate::go(config => $config, interval => 'alpha');

DESCRIPTION

Rotates the named interval in your backups

SUBROUTINES

go

Takes two named parameters, config and interval, being the name of the interval you want to rotate.

If the named interval is the first interval, then every foo.$number directory is renamed to foo.$number+1 except the highest numbered, which is renamde to _delete.$$ where $$ is the process ID, and foo.0 which is left alone.

If the named interval is *not* the first interval then it only rotates if previous.last exists. In that case, every foo.$number directory is renamed to foo.$number+1 except the highest numbered, which is renamde to _delete.$$, and previous.last is moved to foo.0.

BUGS/WARNINGS/LIMITATIONS

None known.
