Simple backup plan

Thread needs solution

When creating a simple backup policy it seem that the first backup should be full followed by an incremental backup according to the documentation.  When I look at the tasks that are created for the policy I don't see one for full backup.

 All I see are these two tasks:

Cleanup task

Incremental backup

Seems like there should be a full backup task as well, correct?

Thanks for the help

 If you selected incremental as the task, then it will only show as that despite the fact it will produce a full task the first time it is run.

It should be different if you've chosen one of the inbuilt methods as these are then listed in each component part.

Yep, I chose 'Simple' as the backup scheme which is a prebuilt scheme.  It says it will create a full backup followed by incrementals but I don't see a task within the policy for full backup, only incremental.

 Sorry I wasn't considering the 'Simple' task as a prebuilt scheme, by scheme I was referring to GFC or Tower of Hanoi algorithm.  For the Simple task what you see is correct as far as ABR10 is concerned.
