Periodic + Daily

[edufon]

Hi, team.
I want to create a job for one VM with a Git inside... and want to make incremental every 6 hours and a daily incremental at the end of the day... i need to make two separate jobs?

Thanks!

Hi Eduardo,

you can just schedule incremental processing for 6 hours as the daily restore points are included.
You have then the option to keep additional GFS points (weekly/monthly/quarterly/yearly restore points) for long term backup (no incremental kept for them).

If you want to have separate retentions for the 6-hourly backups and the daily incremental, then yes, you need to create 2 backup jobs.
But I would have a look at the total space consumption. Two backups of the same data need the additional space for the extra full. The 6-hourly increments do not consume that much more space compared with a daily incremental (only for the data that is really overwritten in the meantime).
I would likely just go with the 6-hourly incrementals in a single job and keep them for the duration of your retention choice.

From restore side it is less than a second difference. We can restore from a chain with many incrementals without issues/overhead.

Can you please share additional details?

Hello Andreas...
Sorry for my poor english....
I want, or we want(the company) backup a git repositoty. Today the jobs run once at day, by night, but it's not enouhg.
I created another job (to replace the current) and want to run periodic, let's say every 6 hours, and then a daily by night. I'm stuck with Fulls and the Retention Policy.
