Is there no way to setup a Full/Differential/Incremental Custom Scheme w/Auto Cleanup?
Perhaps I am simply not understanding as I am new to TrueImage but I am trying to create what I consider to be a standard type of backup scheme but cannot figure out how to get it setup or if it would even work.
Currently using 5551 on Windows 8
I want to have essentially the following happen:
Full Backup - Once a month on the same date in the AM
Then I want Incrementals in the evening starting the same day as the Full Backup and run for the next 6 nights.
Then, on the 7th night (14th, 21st, etc) I want a differential to be created based on the most recent Full Backup. I then want the last week's incrementals deleted.
This process should continue until 1 month from the last Full at which time I would do another Full Backup and delete everything else.
Is my thinking in this wrong? I see this as the best method for efficient backups with the added quickest possible turnaround for a restore should one be needed. Thanks!
Mike

Mike,
In addition to the suggestion by MVP Tuttle, spend some time looking at link #2 below.
The examples of 11-Full; 11-Inc and 11-Diff are illustations of how these tasks can be configured. Do take the time to read all the comments associated with those 3 types of setups.
As each backup type begins with a full, you might want to consider setting your start date (for each task) on different dates so each full occurs on a different day or date--spread equally apart.
Be aware that the program will not delete the oldest backup until after a replacment has been created so there is always a need for extra space during the backup creation time before the deletion occurs.
