Some questions about backup management with backup plans
Is there any way to do some of the following
Do a full backup say every 1 month with incremental ones in between (using a single backup plan)
Delete backups older than have multiple options
delete only every second/third etc backup older than x time - have multiple iterations of this - with each date being further out - this would allow keeping more later backups than earlier ones - This can be done with multiple backup plans - but it would be cleaner in one
? Not sure what happens to an incremental backup if the base backup is older than the specified date and is erased - unless this explicitly does not happen

*keeping more later backups than earlier ones*
The Tower of Hanoi backup scheme is designed exactly for this purpose. It also includes differential backups which help to cut off the incremental "branches" in a timely manner.
