Storing without more than one Full Backup

Post by Chromist »

Hello there,

i just wanted to know whether it is possible to set up a incremental backup on a drive smaller than double the size of the computer being backed up.

Well if you wouldn't mind me asking:
With what settings would that be the case exactly? With periodic backup to me it seems that after the first full backup and some incremental backups the next periodic full backup wouldn't fit on the drive anymore. Is the older full backup being deleted in the process of making the new one then?

There's no "next periodic full backup" with the default settings. Just don't change any advanced job settings and don't enable those periodic fulls..
