Chains of differential and incremental backups
Sorry, i don't find this via search.
As backup schema i can decide between following chain methods:
- Full, diff, diff, diff, diff, Full, diff, diff.....
- Full, inc, inc, inc, Full, inc, inc, inc
Both have the disadvantage of using much space for the full backup as start point for new chain.
Buti would love to create the following scheme:
Full, diff1, inc, inc, inc, diff2, inc, inc, inc, diff3, inc, inc, inc
This would save so much space. And if space is full, i could start deleting diff1 with all its incr. backups, but diff2 would still be consistent.
Such a scheme isn't possible right? I would be the most efficient and flexible way for most cases, I think.

I have a dim recollection that you can do this with the application previously known as Backup 12.5. (Cannot remember the new name ... well after my bed time...

Thank, I just investigated a bit. Yes, this seems to work only with the Cyber Backup 12.5 version.

Marc, thanks for the update. There may be a change request for this feature to be added (I cannot recall), but I suspect it is unlikely to happen any time soon.
