Thread needs solution

How do I manage the backup versions of full, incremental, differential, as I have already made a backup? I can not find any options for these properties.

The type backup you have already has set the the type backup for future backups to be created by the same task which created the first backup. If you want a different type backup, you will need to create a new task with the desired backup type.

Here are examples of how each of the 3 types can be configured. You need a new task for any of the ones below which you choose to use.

GH11. Create Custom Full Backup Scheme.Keep 4 versions (chains). The 4 is an example only with user choice for whatever number of chains to be retained best fits the individual needs..
GH12. Create Custom Incremental Backup Scheme. 6 Inc, Keep 4 chains. The 6-4 is an example only with user choice for whatever number of chains to be retained best fits the individual needs.
Note/example: If rule selected is "Delete older than 7 days" is selected, deletion will not begin until the first chain (7 files) is completed and entire chain is older than 7 days.
GH13. Create Custom Differential Backup Scheme. 2 Diff, Keep 2 chains. The 2-2 is an example only with user choice for whatever number of chains to be retained best fits the individual needs.
