True Image 2020 force one time full backup

Thread needs solution

I recall having the ability in past versions of True Image to force a one time full backup from an existing backup that is set for incremental type scheme. Is this no longer an option? Do I have to change the scheme, backup, then change the scheme back? Or am I just missing where this feature is located? I apologize if this is a repeat question, I had difficulties trying to search the forums for this specific question.

Jeanine, sorry but there is no obvious method of forcing a one time full backup for an existing incremental backup task.

The options that you have available would be:

Use the Clean up versions tool to remove all current backups for the task which will then cause it to create a new full backup when next run.

Clone the task settings then change the cloned task to make it either use only full backups or be a 'single version' only task.

Create a new backup task using the same Source / Destination but the option to only create a full backup.  Note: ensure the task is not using the same name as any existing one!
