Change target location = new backup

Post by ganix »

I want to make my backup to a FTP server. Full backup is 20+ GB size and subsequent daily copies are just 10-20 MB. With actual upload speeds in muy country it's not possible transferring 20+ GB in a reasonable time so...

The solution I'm trying is:

1) Make first backup in an external HD, carry and copy it to the server.
2) Make daily copies to FTP server.

BUT when first daily backup is launched in step 2 a new full backup is created with the backup name plus (1). Later on everything is ok, but I need to avoid transmit 20 GB through DSL.

Is there any way or workaround to achieve this. Because i don't find any logic in this behaviour since a backup is a backup no matter where is stored.
