The only requirement is that it is executable.
Using source specific interval definitions
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
When you are backing up multiple hosts via cron each night, it may be
a problem that host "big_server" may only have 4 daily backups, because
otherwise its backup device will be full. But for all other hosts
you want to keep 20 daily backups. In this case you would create
`/etc/ccollect/default/intervals/daily` containing "20" and
`/etc/ccollect/sources/big_server/intervals/daily` containing "4".
Source specific intervals always overwrite the default values.
If you have to specify it individually for every host, because
of different requirements, you can even omit creating
`/etc/ccollect/default/intervals/daily`.
F.A.Q.
