Hi Craig, and thanks for clarification and yes you are right, this makes for full backups not much sense. I will change that and want to keep one full backup for each month and between incremental. So is that correct:
fullperiod = 29.97 fullkeepcnt = 12 fullkeepcntmin = 12 fullagemax = 365 Incremental should be ok for that, right? -- Taste Am 04.10.2020 18:56:39, schrieb Craig Barratt via BackupPC-users: > Your interpretations are almost completely correct. > > For the Full settings, there's no need to have such a large number for > FullKeepCnt, since that would be roughly 900 days (30 * 29.97).
