Creating a custom backup scheme (GFS-modified?) on TrueImage and Cyber Home

Thread needs solution

Hi

I am currently using a Synology NAS box that I want to migrate over to a PC based NAS/Remote machine. Although I am not too happy with their Hyperbackup, their retention policy is quite good.

I am doing nightly backups with retention policy set to

keep daily backups for 1 week
keep weekly backups for 4 weeks
keep monthly backups for 4 months

I am currently evaluating TrueImage for backup options. I can do this implementing 3 different schemes, one for daily, weekly, monthly. Problem is each of these scheme will result in a redundant full image that is independently tracked. This will be noticeable space hog if my source location is quite large.

I asked Hyperbackup's test team and it seems that they are running a modified version of GFS where, they start consolidating/merging the incrementals based on the specified rules. E.g., at the end of week 2, they consolidate the the incremental to create a new synthetic image. It also seems to be only incremental based, no diff backups.

Any recommendations/suggestions. Can I do this using TI, Cyber Home, or any other Acronis tool?
