I haven’t actually deployed ACTS yet, so forgive me and close this out if I’m misinterpreting the code.

It looks like each backup will either be daily, monthly, or yearly. This means that the first two days of the year won’t have a daily backup.

Consider instead always doing a daily backup, and then copying to monthly/yearly as needed.
tarsnap -c -f monthlybackup @@dailybackup

The copy operation is pretty trivial in terms of data transfer, and that way there is always a daily, monthly, and yearly backup.
