Hi Adrian,
ever since you wrote this in 2012 I am checking from release to release (and there were many)
for the promised feature, "make full backup every xx differential/incremental backups".
Creating multiple schedules to achieve this is realy annoying if you have to manage multiple different backup jobs.
Please make it happen!

Thank you!

Hi,

I created a new ticket for that feature request.

Hi,

thank you Adrian!
Is there possibly any schedule for this feature to happen ?

Hi,

At this moment I cannot tell when it will be implemented.

I think this would be a really useful addition. With my previous backup software I had a full backup every Saturday with daily incremental and the incremental restarting after each full. You could schedule the full backup by number of backups, by day of the week, by date, etc.

Hi,

At this moment, you can use the scheduler to combine periodic incremental and full executions.
You can schedule the incremental backups daily or from Monday to Friday and a full backup every Saturday.
Then you can also schedule Cleanup actions to remove backups older than a number of weeks.
