Acronis Retention only one Fullbackup
Good day
Is it possible to create a rule within Acronis that allows the following retention:
Day 1: Fulldump
Day 2-6: Incremental/Differential
Day 7: New fulldump and keep versions 2-6 (Incremental/Differential)?
The goal is to always have 7 days available and never have more than 1 fulldump occupying the space. Whether incremental or differential is subordinate, the important thing would be the ability to restore the state daily for 7 days and never have more than one fulldump.
With the known cleanup options you can keep only version chains and when 7 days are reached, a new Fullbackup is created but not all changes of the last 7 days contains (but only current state of the full backup). The incremental/differential are then deleted and are not present in the new full as "daily restore points". We would like to have the Option to alway go back 7 days.
Is there any trick to realize this?
Kind regards
Matt

Hello
Thank you very much for the nice feedback, unfortunately I already suspected this. It would have been ideal if the new fullbackup would have included the old dif/inc in itself and so we would have kept the 7 versions - and with this "merged" FUllbackup a new week would have started - with 7 new div/inc backups starting from the merged fullbackup.
But so I know that there is no other option and the 2 fullbackups fit so.
The thread can be considered as done, thank you very much.
Best regards
