Full backup within incremental backup schedule

Post by TomOhio »

Is there a way to schedule a full backup after e.g. 30 incremental ones and then continue with incrementals from then on?

Hello TomOhio,

The way incremental backups currently work is via schedules and backup retains. The first backup created is a full backup, and all subsequent backups created are incremental in nature. If you have, for example, your schedule set to retain 7 backups, once the 8th backup is generated the 1st and 2nd backups will logically merge. Do you think you can clarify your use case so that we can more comprehensively explain your needs to our development team? If this is a feature that you'd like to see in future versions of JetBackup, we'd also like to encourage you to submit a feature request at request.jetapps.com. Please note that we use the voting system to gauge demand for additional features. The more votes a request has, the more likely it will be up for consideration by our developers.
Thank you,
