simple recommendation - backup method

Thread needs solution

Hi there,

There is a staggering amount of content on this forum. Ghost convert here. It failed me a couple of times so I took the plunge and bought TrueImage 2012. I tried the version chain scheme and it always fails. Would love some input on what backup method is reliable other than duplicitous full backups which are wasteful.

TIA,
Rich

Look at this link and figures 11-Full or 11-Incremental or 11-Differential. These illustrate the 3 types of partition backups. Adjust the 6 and 4 to fit your needs. As I have observed the forum and in my use, the method that seems to work with the least issues is to keep x number of recent chains. The options to keep x based on days or x based on space may work but have had reports of issues which is why I suggest to keep x number of recent chains. This can be done with either of the 3 types. If you choose the route of the incremental, don't keep too many before creating another new full.
