Question about differential backup and backup clearing

Thread needs solution

Hello,

I have the new Backup and Recovery 11. It seems really nice and works fine. But I have two little problems or question about options of the backup task.

1. I set up an incremental backup task Monday - Friday and a differential backup task every saturday. Does the differential backup task save all data which have been changed since the last full backup or since the last incremental backup? And does the next incremental backup save then since the last differential backup?

2. The replication of an backup takes longer then the actually backup on the first location. Has this a cause?

3. I set up _no_ clearing ( I hope thats the english term in Acronis ;) ) for both locations. Every time I save it and edit the backup it will change the status of clearing of the first location back to "Keeping Rules" but didn't checked any chechbox. Is that a bug? There is no rule specified but does it remove my backups after a time?

Hope I explained it understandable :).

Greets,

Burak

1. The differential backup includes data changed since the last full backup. The incremental one includes data since the last backup of any type - incremental, differential or full. So the monday incremental is based on the differential, tuesday incremental is based on the monday incremental.

3. Probably it's a bug, but as there are no checkboxes checked cleanup will not be performed.
