Full backup on a specific day of the month?
I swear this used to work - got one server that gets a Full backup on the 7th of the month for GFS retention purposes (in addition to regular daily backups). I find this isn't working any more - the monthly Full is happening on any day during the first week. Did something change, or am I crazy? How do I make sure I get a Full backup of this server on the 7th of the month?

Thinking more, I seem to remember that Backup Copy Jobs used to allow a Full to be synthesized on a specific day of the month. It seems the change happened with v11.

Yes, in v10 you could still select a specific date of the month to create the monthly full. Now in v11 you can only select which weekly full to promote to monthly - the one from the first week or the last. I hope this will be changed in v12 to something more flexible.

Thanks for the confirmation.
Veeam - Feature request, please! Restore the ability to synthesize a Full on a specific day of the month as part of a GFS-enabled backup.
I don't relish the thought of telling the customer that we can't satisfy their backup schedule requirement...

Any chance this will be fixed in v12?

I also would like to know. For compliance reasons we need to be able to retain specific days of the month. First or last weekend of the month for a monthly GFS point doesn't work for us, we need to be able to specify an exact date (like the 2nd).

Not in v12 but we have this request logged for future improvements.
