Version Chain

Thread needs solution

How do I change option in Version Chain backup?

Specifically the deletion of chains older than 6 months. I don't have the storage for that amount of backup.

The Version Chain concept is great for my needs.

Also I want to control when the Full is done and how offen.

The built-in "Version Chain" backup scheme is not configurable, but you can create your own "Custom" scheme to perform backup operations based on either incremental or differential backup techniques, with backup file retention and cleanup options you can define.

Please see MVP Grover's excellent guide to doing just this (Thanks, Grover).

Thanks James!

Click on signature link #2 below and set up your new backup task according to the example shown in figure 11-dif.
You can change the 6 and 4 examples to fit your needs.
This example is based on the old backups being deleted after being replaced by newer backups on a rotating in/out basis. Create a new task pointing to a new empty destination storage. Do not mix backup tasks into the same folder. One folder per task.
