Creating daily, Entire PC backups in a way that I could get to previous version, if necessary.

Thread needs solution

At this point, I'm backing up all my data -- 200GB-- daily at 7pm.  I believe that the entire PC is being backed up once a day.  It lalso looks like each day's copy replaces the one from the day before.

It strikes me that undiscovered problems at, say, 1pm on a particular day would simply back up to the cloud at 7pm, leaving me with a mess in the cloud as well as on my desktop and no way to retrieve before-the-problem data.

How do I create, say, a new Entire PC copy once a day, but keep access to earlier Entire PC bac kups. For example, each day's Entire PC backup might be kept for a week, but only at one week increments for the previous month and one month increments for, say, six months before that.

Thanks!

Is this a Cloud backup? If so, it only backs up the full once and then does incrementals for life (assuming nothing major changes on the source - like restoring a backup, frequently defragging or changing partition sizes on the drive).  See attached screenshot.
