Monthly full backups only, no incremental

Post by phiaramos »

Hello, i just want to ask how should I configure to run monthly full backups only, no incremental backup? because some of my VMs have very low change rate, that's why I'm looking to backup only monthly full, without the incremental. Thank you.

Hello,
"how should you"... I would not do it ever :-) Just do monthly incremental would be my recommendation.

But if you really want to waste disk space (because every incremental backup is a logical full backup anyway)... then a "monthly" schedule with "monthly active full" should do what you want.
