Date range to exclude running a backup

Thread needs solution

Just updated to the latest and still I can select a date range to run the backup but no option to exclude dates, like Christmas Day, New Years Day etc. when no staff are in. I know I can manually disable the schedule but in this day and age, a simple calendar shouldn't be hard to do. The previous backup software we used (brought in 2003!!!) had that capability.

Anyone from Acronis want to comment please?

Hi

Currently we do not have such functionality. It will be implemented in future versions (internal id:ABR-147703).

Why do you want to skip backup on holidays: because of no access to the backup location or just to save space?

We backup onto USB sticks but if say Friday was a public holiday, Fridays backup wouldn't fit on Thursday's USB stick and your rotation rules only allow for 7 days before being auto-deleted. Or am I misinterpreting your rules system?

Our retention rules are configurable in the UI. You can set whatever you want: keep X backups, keep X days/weeks/months.
