Hi,
I have a backup job with retention policy of 7 restore points and 4 weeks GFS configuration (and 3 months) and if multiple full backups exists in a week, default is Sunday's one. I also have definition of full syntethic backup on Saturdays. I have full backup (manually activated) on 02/09/25 and it is marked as weekly. I had incremental backups every day in a week from 02/10/25 to 02/16/25. I expected to see Saturday's full synthetic backup marked as weekly for that week, but it didn't happen. Saturday's backup really is full and synthetic, but not marked as weekly, so I don't have weekly backup in mentioned week. Can somebody explain me, why?
There is a specific situation that full syntetic backup started on Saturday (21:30) and finished on Sunday (about 01:30)...maybe it confused VBR?
But it is not good that I don't have one weekly backup in whole week. Am I doing something wrong?
Thank you all in advance!

Re: Question about weekly backups
To be more descriptive I'm attaching a picture:

My question is why backup dated 15.2.2025 is not marked as weekly ("W")?

Re: Question about weekly backups
OK, it seems that week starts on Sunday, I didn't know that.
If so, I already have preffered full backup (02/09/2025) and full backup dated 02/15/2025 is inside this week.
