Hello list!

Now that my backups are working with the default settings, I¹d like to go a
bit deeper and tune them for my needs.

Actually the parameters are set in a way that I get 1 FULL and 6 INCR
backups. Let me immediately address the first argument: the ³IncrLevel². Am
I right if I understand that leaving INCR Backups with IncrLevel=1, means in
fact that every incremental backup is done in relation to the most recent
FULL backup? Thus, if I¹d change the level from 1 to 6 (for example) I
simply would be turning the ³pure incremental² backups into ³differential²
backups? I mean, in this latter case, incr backups would be done in relation
to the most recent BACKUP (full or incremental wouldn¹t play a role)?!

OK, now the main question of my post: data retention.
I want to have one full month of daily retrievable backups: would this be
achieved by setting ³FullKeepCnt² to 4 and ³IncrKeepCnt² to 24? Would I need
to change something else?

Thanks in advance,

Flavio Boniforti
