Backup schedule not performing full backups
I have a weekly backup schedule for my data disks, that is configured to perform a full backup after every 12 incrementals (keeping no more than 3 chains). However, the current backup chain is now 23 incrementals long.
This backup spec was originally configured to perform a full after every 10 incrementals and keeping 4 chains, but my backup destination ran out of space, so I changed the spec to the current 12 incrementals and 3 chains. There have been no full backups performed since I had the space issue and changed the backup spec.
How do I get my backup schedule back to performing incrementals at the correct frequency?
(I have another weekly schedule for my system disk that performs a full after 6 incrementals and deletes chains after 183 days, and it does not have a problem)
Regards,
John

Ok, thanks for that.
Well then, sounds like I should "tweak" my schedule to have 0 incrementals between fulls, then run a backup, and then reset it to the incremental schedule I desire.
I will give that a go.
