Number of Backup Versions

Thread needs solution

I have ATI 2014 and create full backups. How do I create only, say 7 incremental backups, and then start over with a new set of backups?

Start over with a new backup task and set the backup scheme as per example GH-12 below. A setting of full plus 6 incrementals would give a new full on the same week day each week if you are set to perform daily backups.

How much weeks backups do you want to keep before the program deletes the oldest chain? If you want to keep 4 weeks of backups, then set the "Store no more than 4......chains". Of if you only want to keep 2 weeks of backups, then set the "store number" to "store no more than 2 chans".

Depending upon the type of backup scheme you wish to create, here is an example of each type. These can be set up for Disk image, or Partiton, or Files-folders backups. These example show how to set up automatic cleanup so the program will do the deletion after it reaches your set goal of how many chains to retain.

Editing an existing task is not recommended. Rarely does an edited task perform to user expectations. It is usually better to start with a new task using a new non-identical task name and point to a new storage sub-folder so each task has it own storage folder/sub-folder. Old task can be stopped or deleted from the task listings.

GH11. Create Custom Full Backup Scheme w/auto cleanup....Store/Keep 4 versions (chains). Use whatever number best fits the individual needs..

GH12. Create Custom Incremental Backup Scheme w/auto cleanup. ...Keep Full plus 6 Inc per chain. Store/Keep 4 chains. Use whatever number best fits your needs.

GH13. Create Custom Differential Backup Scheme w/auto cleanup. ...Keep Full plus 2 Diff per chain. Store/Keep 2 chains. Use whatever number best fits your needs.
