Hello,
a) I was trying to setup a differential backup schedule: Fullbackup at the first of the month, then diff backups. I thought that this would give me a history of 4 weeks to go back in time.
b) On a second thought however, I noticed that at the time the fullbackup is made, all previous diff backups become useless. (although TI doesn't delete them).
c) OK, so I thought will do a cycle like this: On odd months, do full backup on first and diffbackups to X:\odd.tib. On even months, do full backup on first and diffbackups to X:\even.tib. This will give me a history of (4-8weeks).
Two problems:
d) On the first of each month, the fullbackup will be created, the diff backups will stay tho (however useless)
e) How do I implement the schedule in TI? I don't see any even/odd months setting. I can only choose every second month. But starting from what? Creation date of the task?!
f) I have seen that TI stores its schedule info in a hidden registry path. But I don't really want to mess around with these settings.
g) Is it possible to spawn the backup tasks from the windows task planner (which has the ability to select months)?
