How do we create backup chains containing only full and incremental backups?
On the AB12.5 console we are not able to plan a backup chain for quarterly backups. Currently we use (on a different backup tool) a plan to backup F-I-I each quartal, starting with full backup and after one month we take a incremental backup (2 times). Next quarter start with a new full backup and so on. After 3 backup chains we delete the oldest chain.
But with AB12.5 we can only plan a full backup each month an add incremental backups each week. We miss a parameter to chose qarterly backups.
Or a feature as it is in ATI2017 for example, there we can create backup chains and chose how many incremental versions before start a new chain.
How do we create a backup chain in AB12.5 like in ATI2017?
Best regards

Hi Vasily,
last week we updated to version 12.5.8610. But it isn't still possible to plan a quarterly schedule with Update 2.
Is this feature canceled or is it planned for the next update?
Best regards

Hi Sigi,
The option was added in Update - the "Monthly" schedule was expanded with new options. So it should be possible to configure quarterly backups. See below screen shot:
If these options are not what you're looking for, please clarify the scenario, so that I can check if there are any other possibilities?
Thank you.

Hi Vasily,
my fault, I didn't seen the new Combo to select each month separately. With this new option we should be able to do a quarterly full backup.
Thanks for clarification ;-)
Best regards,
