Configuring half year backups - scheduling

[mriesenbeck]

Hi,

I've created a schedule for a job, which should make a backup every 6 months. But still it's making a backup every week. Maybe I'm overlooking something here?

So, schedule: Monthly at this time: 20:00 First Saturday Months: Selected January and July. If I look at the restore points, I have restore points on: 4 december, 11 december and 18 december.

Linked to the job is a backup copy to immutable, which has a GFS of keep weekly full backups for 1 week. Could this be causing this? I want 1 backup every 6 months and 1 Backup Copy which copies that backup to immu.

This is with B&R 11A.

Cheers,

Michael

I certainly haven't tried this precise scenario but guessing you may still have weekly synthetic full's scheduled? Check the advanced settings in the storage selection dialog in the job wizard.

Correct!

I've corrected it, so let's see what happens.

Cheers,
