borg backup - create and prune in same script
Suppose I haven't made any backup yet to my backup repository and start making borg backups with a cronjob bash script every day, starting today.
So the script executes first:
borg create -v --stats $REPOSITORY::'{now:%Y-%m-%d_%H:%M}' /root /etc and so on....
and then in the same script:
borg prune -v --list --keep-daily=3 --keep-weekly=3 --keep-monthly=3 $REPOSITORY
Does that work?
Or will borg delete every day all backups > 3 days and so i will never get the weekly and the monthly backups?
