Full Backup Schedule

Thread needs solution

Hi all

I've been using VMP8 using the "Save each backup in separate files" and "GFS Cleanup Scheme". How does VMP determine when it will do a full backup as after 8 days on incremental backups its run a Full backup on all the machines! Is this done on an internal schedule or can this be configured?

Thanks

Nigel

Hi Nigel,

The GFS scheme in combination with "Save each backup in separate files" implies that the full backups will be created on monthly basis, differentials are created weekly and incrementals are created daily. In case you use "Single file for all backups" archive type then there will always be incremental backups created and the recovery points will be deleted in accordance with the GFS scheme settings (so it will be basically just a rotation scheme without changing the type of backup).

Thank you.
