Backup scheme not working.
Dear
We have some issues with Aomei Backupper Server 3.2. We’ve configured the followingbackup task
- Scheduletype: Daily
- Incrementalbackup
- Backupscheme: Incremental, retain the latest 45 versions of backup image file.
- Createfull back-up before performing backup scheme.
At this moment we have the following backup files:
Backupfile1= full backup
Backupfile2 – 45 = incremental
So this should be group 1 in the scheme.
Backupfile46 = full backup (+ first backup of group 2 in the backup scheme)
Backupfile47 – 55 = incremental backup
Backupfile 56= full backup (backup performed after changing the disk size)
Backupfile 58– 90 = incremental backup
This should be group 2 in the backup scheme.
Backupfile91= full backup (+ first backup of group 3 in the backup scheme)
Backup 93 –92 = incremental backup
Shouldn’t the first group (files 2-45) be deleted after the creation of backupfile91,which is the start of a new group?

We replied you in the email.
According to your settings,
First, there is a original full backup, then
Backupfile1 = full backup
Backupfile 2 – 45 = incremental
Backupfile46 = full backup
Backupfile 47 – 90 = incremental
Generally, Backupfile 1-45 will be deleted after the backupfile 90 is completed. But the program perform a full backup after changing the disk size, so the program will perform backup scheme based on the new full backup. That's to say, new group will re-generate, previous backup files will not be deleted.You need to delete manually.
