Customized Backup Schedules for 10 days Full Backup

Post by mganadi »

Hi All,

I am wondering if there is a way to schedule a Full Backup (Acrive or Synthaatic) to be every 10 days ? instead of weekly or monthly bases. My goal is to have daily incrementals and full backup every 10 days so I played with all schedule options but couldn't achieve it so I feel I am missing something or this is not possible on veeam as I used to do it in other vendors.

Let me know if this configuration is possible in VBR.

Thanks

Hello Mahmood

Full backups can be scheduled within 1-7 days or monthly. 7 days with the recommended backup storage (reFS, XFS for fast clone) is normally used by many of our customers. May I ask, why 10 days is important? What's the use case?

If you goal is to have 1 full backup and 9 incremental backups, you can just disable periodic full backups.
This will create a forever forward incremental chain.

Best,

Hi Fibian,

It was a customer request as as their company policy. Anyway I managed it by using powershell script with windows task scheduler and it works fine.

Thanks for your reply and sorry for the delay responsz
