Confused On How to Schedule Hourly / Daily Backups Here

[cmennens]

I configured this script to just do daily and hourly backups on a single instance of mongod w/o auth. Pretty simple. My question is when I enable both daily / hourly to "yes", how do I schedule this in cron.daily or crontab? Would I need to schedule this script every hour and if so, does that mean it will take a full backup (daily) every single hour I really just want an hourly backup? Confused on how the logic flows here. How do I get dailys at 1 AM and an hourly backup every hour? Are they just full hourly dumps?

@jalogisch @mriegler could you please elaborate on above question? I am interested as well. Thanks a lot!

Is there any update on this?

And this hourly backup is complete backup or of just oplog backup(only of that 1 hour data)?

Hourly backup I have done, take entire backup and deletes old one.
I am looking for just uplog data backup(last hour data and merged with old backup), is it possible??

As i have checked the script there is an option which takes the last timestamp of the dump from oplog. But actually it is not working as expected, it takes the complete backup again. Can someone please explain how is it going to work?
