Backup Maintenance

Thread needs solution

I have a question about automatic cleanup for the incremental backup method. I’d like to know if I select "Store no more than [n] recent version chains" and set [n] as 1, does the first chain (i.e. full backup #1 plus its increments) get deleted once the second full backup is created or it’d be deleted once the third full backup is created? I think the latter would be the case since a version chain consists of full backup plus all scheduled increments and deleting this chain after the second full backup would result in no version chain remaining on the backup disc. Please clarify this for me.

What frequency do you have new fulls being made?

It will be deleted after the second full has completed. So you will find yourself with only 1 full backup.
