Hi there,

i've tried several times to change the expire rules to my needs. But 
unfortunately none of the approches worked and now i'm total confused. I 
highly appreciate any hints. So, here's my setup:

master.conf:
expire-rule:
#       MIN HR    DOM MON       DOW  STRFTIME_FMT
         *   *     *   *         *   +6 hours
         *   00    *   *         *   +7 days
         *   00    *   *         1   +4 weeks
         *   00    1   *         *   +2 months

/etc/cron.d/dirvish
# run every 2 hours
0 */2 * * * root /etc/dirvish/dirvish-cronjob

/etc/dirvish/dirvish-cronjob
/usr/sbin/dirvish-runall --quiet && /usr/sbin/dirvish-expire --quiet


My desired expire rule is,
that the backups made every 2hours expiring after 6 hours,
that the backups made at midnight been kept for 7 days,
these who are made on first day of week expire after 4 weeks.
At last the backups made on first day of month expire after 2 months.
