Backup Copy and Retention Question

Post by t481 »

Hi
I am trying to create a backup and backup copy jobs to achieve the following:

Backup daily incrementals on working days for 1 month
Weekly backups retained for 4 weeks
Monthly backups retained for 6 months


I created the following jobs:

Standard backup job:
- Daily incremental backups for 20 working days (1 month)
- Runs daily at 20.00

Backup Copy job
- Runs every 5 days
- Runs at 20.30 to capture the Friday backup
- Set to keep
- 4 x Weekly backups on Friday
- 6 x Monthly backups on the last Friday of the month.

Is the above correct to achieve the requirements?

Hi, the settings look correct.
My only suggestion is to run backup copy daily, not once in 5 days.
