Scheduling fail

[seonet]

Hi,

I have bck job - scheduled "On these days" - checked only Monday.

But job start in Saturday too. Do you know why? Disable old job and create new is without effect.

Thanks

Pavel

Hi, most likely this is because you have full backup scheduled to run on Saturday, which it does. This is the default setting for the default backup mode that you have never changed, I guess. Thanks!

Hi Gostev, thank you for reply. How I can change this default settings? Thank you.

Thank you. So if I will set Monday in "Create on", and schedule will every Monday, so first will full and next others incrementals only, right?

Yes, you will have a full backup created on Mondays and all other jobs runs will be incremental. Thanks!

But be careful, since the job is scheduled to run "only" on Monday, all backup jobs will be full. Plan carefully for disk space on the repository based on the desired retention.

Ok, bad:)

How I can schedule only one full and next incr. every week?

[Gostev]

This is impossible as you have to have periodic full scheduled when using forward incremental backup mode, however you can schedule it monthly and only select every 2nd/3rd/etc. months in the year. Thanks!

Or maybe since it's only weekly, you can try to switch to Reversed incremental so you only have one full. Tests it first so you can check if the additional IO load will still be good for your backup window requirements or if it takes too much time, because on the other side each execution will have to grab a full week of block changes.
