Scheduling help

Post by tim.latham »

I have recently downloaded a trial copy and it looks really good. The problem I have is that I can't get the hang of scheduling / type of backup ie full / incremental / differential; and maybe folder naming comes in as well!

What I want to do is this:

Once per week on say Sunday carry out a full backup of all selected files
Daily the other 6 days of the week backup only those files that have changed

Have stored lets say 2 weeks worth of these full & differential backups (I've got plenty of external disk space).

Could someone help by explaining simply how I might set this up.

Thanks

You should make following tasks:
1. Shedule: Weekly - select Sunday
- Full backup
- Archive with any date format for example "YYYYDDMM" and select special destination folder for this task say "...\FULL\".
- Archive depth 14 days (2 weeks).

1. Shedule: Weekly - select all days except Sunday
- Incremental backup
- Archive with any date format for example "YYYYDDMM" and select special destination folder for this task say "...\INCREMENTAL\".
- Archive depth 14 days (2 weeks).

That's all.
