Backup strategy !!!!!

[rlesperance]

Hello,

 

 

 

I want to do an incremental backup and keep at least 30 days of all copies of my files. Here are the strategies that I thought of:

 

 

 

1. I could have 2 scripts backuping simultaneously one crossing over the other on a 60 days period. At the end of the 60 days I would do a recycled backup. This way I would have at least 30 days of backup and at the most 60 days.

 

 

 

2. I could also make an incremental backup that I could stop after 30 days, and then begin another and stop it also after 30 days. After the second backup, I would recycle the first and so on ...... This way the backup would be smaller but as to be done manually. Is there a way to automate this strategy ??

 

 

 

Is there simpler way to do this ???

 

 

 

Thanks in advance.

Hi

 

You can employ your second strategy by creating a script and then adjusting the start date and "weeks" box on the schedules. 2 weeks means every other week 4 weeks means every 4 weeks etc.
