ggirao Posted May 28, 2012 Report Share Posted May 28, 2012 Hello, I can I set the difference on a full vs inc backup on retrospect. I know it automatically increments, but I need to weekly make a full backup. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lennart_T Posted May 28, 2012 Report Share Posted May 28, 2012 I don't understand why you need to do a full backup, but there are two ways: a ) Do a Recycle backup. b ) Do a New Media backup. Which one should you choose? Since you haven't provided any details at all, it's impossible to tell. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ggirao Posted May 28, 2012 Author Report Share Posted May 28, 2012 I need to rotate weekly full backup offsite Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CallMeDave Posted May 29, 2012 Report Share Posted May 29, 2012 If you're coming to Retrospect from other traditional backup solutions you may have a misunderstanding of how "Incremental Plus" works. But as Lennart suggests, doing a "full" backup each week may only provide wasted time over simply maintaing two Media Sets and rotating them as needed. The variable most relevant to your decision might be what Type of Media Set you are using, and how many Members your backup require. Normal backups will eventually require additional Members, so you'll want to weigh the need to transport the physical media against the time it takes a new or recycled Media Set to complete. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ggirao Posted May 29, 2012 Author Report Share Posted May 29, 2012 Hi, still having problems. I'm trying to backup different folders to different media sets. The problem is that even if I select subfolders on a share/drive it tries to backup the entire drive (not the folders i selected) I'm stucked :-( FYI its a drive mounted on same machine as the retro server.

ggirao Posted May 29, 2012 Author Report Share Posted May 29, 2012 Nevermind. RTFM did the trick. Just add to favourite folders. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ggirao Posted July 16, 2012 Author Report Share Posted July 16, 2012 problems again. Retro is trying to make full backup again on one media set that's already running. Tried to make a new backup and on second day (after the first full backup) it's trying to do a full bckp again, please help! FYI The folder's date on shared drive doesnt appear on root (but on deep folders is ok). I clicked on "use attribute modifation date when matching - so is off) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ggirao Posted July 16, 2012 Author Report Share Posted July 16, 2012 Well, didn't wait for the matching. Everything is OK DUHHH Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
