Feature Request: Bi-Weekly Synthetic Full Backup Scheduling

[stanislavbaran]

Hello,

Would it be possible to implement a scheduling option for synthetic full backups similar to the one available for standard full backups?

Currently, we handle this requirement using PowerShell scripts, but this is not always the most efficient or reliable solution. Our goal is to run a synthetic full backup every second week, rather than every week.

We manage application servers with large amounts of data, and having four full backups per month consumes significant storage space. A bi-weekly synthetic full backup option would greatly reduce storage usage while maintaining an effective backup strategy.

It would be helpful if the scheduling flexibility for synthetic full backups matched that of standard full backups, where options like "every second week" are available.

Thanks!

Hello Stanislav

We manage application servers with large amounts of data, and having four full backups per month consumes significant storage space.

May I ask what kind of storage you are using? Storage space shouldn't be much of a problem with spaceless synthetic full backups on FastClone supported repositories.

We support many storage types for FastClone operations:
- Windows with reFS
- Linux / Hardened Repository with XFS
- Deduplication appliances (only recommended for backup copy jobs)

Best,
Fabian
