New full backup
Hi -
I am doing incremental backups daily to a external drive. About once a month or when the drive is almost full I want to use a new drive and start over with a new full backup, and then continue with the incrementals. What is the best way to do this without having to edit the backup job? Thanks!

Re: New full backup
Hi,
When you change the drive, just open Backup Properties->Advanced
In the "Run action before backup" section, select "Clear backup" and "Run only once".
Press Save.
That will delete the old backups from the catalog and a new full backup will be performed.
After that, if you use the Incremental type, incremental backups will be performed.
