FAQ

Why minimum Hour/Day/Month

If you configure to keep one backup per hour for 12 hours Idun will make sure there will be hourly backups for at least 12 hours. But based on the rules of the next Buckets, which is per Day from 00:00:00 UTC to 23:59:59 UTC there may be a gap between the end hour of the "Hourly Bucket" and the beginn of the "Daily Bucket", in this case Iduna will not delete the Backup files. So ther will be up to 35 Hours Hourly Backups.
