How do I set up this backup scheme in Reflect v5 Week 1 Sunday Full Monday Incremental Tuesday Incremental Wednesday Incremental Thursday Incremental Friday Incremental Saturday Incremental Week 2 Sunday A new Full, Keeping week 1 chain Monday Incremental Tuesday Incremental Wednesday Incremental Thursday Incremental Friday Incremental Saturday Incremental Week 3 Sunday A new Full, Keeping week 1 and 2 chain Monday Incremental Tuesday Incremental Wednesday Incremental Thursday Incremental Friday Incremental Saturday Incremental Week 4 Sunday Deletes week 1 chain and starts with a new Full That way I should have a minimum of 14 days of backup and a max of 21 days using 3 Fulls. I am just not seeing how to do it. Thanks.
I did something similar by creating 2 scheduled tasks. 1st task is to create full image once a week, second task is to create daily incremental backup (it will be automatically created for last full). First task is scheduled on weekly basis, second task is run daily. For automatic deletion you can modify definition file and enable disk space management leaving only three full backups. After three weeks program will delete 1st full backup with all associated incremental backups.
Yes, I've got it now. Coming from a different backup program, it took me quite a while to realize that a Backup Definition could have more than one schedule associated with it. Thanks.
