GFS and clean up archive

Thread needs solution

Dear,

I'm trying to create a backup job that combines GFS (Grandfather - Father - Son) and clean up archive (f.e. when the disk space is less than XX GB's). Is this possible?

Thank you

Johan

If I choose a custom backup scheme then I can configure weekly/monthly full backups and daily incremental backups.
After let's say 2-3 months I would like to delete all the incremental backups and only rentain the full backups in order to save disk storage.
Could someone give me some advice? I'm a newbie in this domain.

Thx

Johan

Hi Johan,

please note that if you select GFS scheme, weekly backups will be differential.

You can specify how long you want the backups to be stored for each backup type separately.

When you decide that you want to delete all weekly/daily backups you can change retention period for this backup types in backup plan (e.g. to 1 hour), save settings, right-click the backup and run replication/cleanup.

Thank you.
