Feature Request - New .vck file creation

Post by marius roma »

After instaling VEB in December I see a single .vbk file and lots of .vib files.
I append the list of files in my USB drive.
Reading the manual I would expect to see a new .vbk file, but I see only new .vib files.
Is it because many backup were performed manually (not scheduled)?
How frequently should the new .vbk file be created?
I would like to be able to select how frequently a new .vbk file is created and obsolete .vib files are removed.
Regards
Marius

Actually, you will only see one VBK file.

After the first full backup, it will be forever incremental. The amount of backups will be determined by the number of days in retention that you have chosen. If the full drops outside of that retention range, it will actually merge itself with the next incremental and then clean-up the obsolete VIB file. The complete procedure is described in the beta manual. But again, you don't create a new VBK file anymore after the first backup unless you decide to create an ad-hoc backup (which is standalone, outside of the chain) or the chain breaks for whatever reason

Hope it helps

Mike
