Acronis Backup Settings
Hello All,
I use incremental backups to backup my entire PC to NAS on my LAN. Below are the options I am using (adding as a file in case the image does not show up). What is happening is Acronis creates a full backup of my PC and then when it runs a backup a week later, it creates another full back up. Each backup is about 400Gb so unless I delete the older backup, Acronis keeps adding a new full backup of about 400Gb.
Based on the setting below, I thought my PC was only going to backup the items that changed since the full backup. Should I change the option about "deleting chains older than 183" to something like 2 days. I don't think I set it at 183 days. I think that is the default.
What I want in a nutshell is to only have one up to date back up on my NAS. If it has to be a full back up every time that's ok but it would be better if Acronis simply updated the backup version that is already on the NAS. My NAS is fairly large but adding 400Gb backups will eat up the available space quickly.
Does it make sense to have Acronis Validate the back up?
Thanks, Bill
