Schedule Full backup monthly & Incremental backup weekly
Hi,
How can I schedule Full backup monthly & Incremental backup weekly?
I can set a schedule a Full backup, but then how to schedule an Incremental backup over the Full backup?
Thanks for your support!

Hi, schedule only an Incremental Backup. BU will take then a Full Backup on the first run.
Pit
But then I can't schedule a Full backup every month... :-(
Enable "Disk Space Management" under "Backup Scheme", check the second option with 7 as value and uncheck "Do not delete...". That should do it.
Pit
Oops, you wanted to have a monthly Full Bachup and weekly incrementals, so use 4 as value for "versions".
Pit
Where is that option?
I think that may be a 2.0 feature. 2.0 is really buggy when it comes to network backups.

Disk Space Management is a feature in BU 2.0 Pro.

Thanks Pit.
Then the Incremental and Diferential backup in free version is not so useful...
As a workaround you could use Windows Task Scheduler to empty your backup folder once a month right before BU starts.
Pit
So, if I set a Full backup, and schedule an Incremental backup weekly, and every month I delete the Full backup, the schedule will create a Full backup?
You only have to create an incremental task weekly. If no full backup exists BU creates one even there's only an incremental backup scheduled.

Thanks Pit!
Hi rdsu,
Welcome for posting your questions here. We may improve this program, so that it could create several different kind of schedule backup the future.
