Backup scheme - Daily incs, full after 30 incs, 1 chain - schedule & cleanup not working

Thread needs solution

I am trying to achieve the following local backup scheme with ATI 2020:

- Daily incrementals

- Full backup after 30 incrementals

- Only keep 1 version chain (so 1 full + 30 incs... which should only be deleted once the next full is created)

 

However, after the backup runs, I am left with only a *single* full backup. The incrementals never get created. This has occurred for every run thus far, regardless of whether it's the very first backup or a subsequent.

 

Here's the results I'm seeing:

- Day 1 (first run, no existing backups) = initial full backup is created

- Day 2 (subsequent run w/ prior full backup) = another full backup is created, prior full backup deleted

- ...

- Day N (same result as Day 2)

 

I was expecting these results:

- Day 1 (first run, no existing backups) = initial full backup is created

- Day 2 (subsequent run w/ prior full backup) = prior full backup still exists + current incremental backup is created

- Day 3-31 (subsequent run w/ prior full backup + prior incs) = prior full backup still exists + prior incremental backups still exist + current incremental backup is created

- Day 32 = initial full backup is created (starting a new chain) + prior chain is deleted (everything from Day 1-31).

 

Attached are my current settings. Thank you.

Kevlar, welcome to these public User Forums.

With the .tibx file backups created by ATI 2020 and later versions, there are no longer any separate incremental backup files for Disks & Partitions backups - these are now automatically consolidated into the same .tibx file as the initial Full backup for the version chain.

See the following KB documents published by Acronis with regards to .tibx files.
