Backup Plan

Thread needs solution

Hi,

If i have backup plan of 1 full backup every month and follow by incremental daily can i convert the 15th incremental to fullbackup? What will happen to incremental 14th-2nd backup?

If the 15th incremental backup converted to full backup is this the baseline for the next incremental backup?

Thanks,

Jerico

You can convert any incremetal you want to full - just go to the vault - archive view select desired incremental and convert. The newly converted(created) full backup will be the base for subsequent incrementals.

Hello,

You can also use consolidation in the backup plan retentin rules options. Consolidation will create a full instead of deleting the older backups.

Please do note that consolidation requires free space for the new consolidated backup (previous ones are not removed until the new one is created) and can also take a while to complete.
