Create New Folder Per Backup Chain
I have acronis set up to create an incremental backup chain for a set of my files. It creates a new incremental every 6 hours for a week before deleting the entire chain and creating a new one. Is it possible to get acronis to create a new folder for each individual backup chain? For example, I would like it to make a new folder as such-
://Destination/Full_B1
Once it auto cleans B1, it should delete the entire Full_B1 Folder and then, for the new backup chain, create a folder-
://Destination/Full_B2
Is it possible to have it do this? At least, is it possible to have it create a new folder for each backup chain (I don't care about auto-cleanup of the folders themselves as much.
Hello Alec Bos,
may I ask you to elaborate on your use-case? Why you'd like to have every backup-chain in a dedicated folder?
Thank you in advance!
I have my computer set up to create backups to a dedicated external drive. I then have the backups uploaded from the drive to a cloud-based storage system which I use for other services as well. When Acronis deletes old backup chains, the cloud-based copies still exist in my account. Instead of having to go through and delete multiple entries online, it would be much easier if I could simply delete a single folder containing an entirety of the last backup chain.
Not sure if this is feasible, but you could upload each one to a separate directory, then all you would need to do would be delete the directory. It may be possible to create a script to do this depending on the way the cloud service works and the software you have available. You can probably do this with a Directory Opus script.
