Daily and Monthly Schedule

Post by catshill »

I am trying to do the following:
Daily back up - incremental
Monthly full back up

What are the correct settings as the following produces two folders at the destination, but instead of a daily and monthly backups I get daily backups in both folders.

Keep backups for 32 days
Advanced:
Create active full backups periodically
Monthly on First days

Veeam won't do that.

You could use rotating folders, hiding them in turn, but each one would need to represent a complete chain - full, incremental, incremental, incremental, ...

Depending on what you are really trying to accomplish, you could run a scheduled script to move the unwanted backups out of the configured folder and replace them by a symbolic link. However, aging out old backups would only delete the symlinks and would also need some cleaning up.
