Currently my backup plan consists of doing Incrementals Mon-Thu, and a Full on Friday. This has worked well.
IF I switch to a Full once a month, and Incrementals each day for the remainder of the month how difficult does this make my restores? Lets say on October 1st I do a Full backup. I have Incrementals from October 2nd to October 28th. On the 29th, a user's home folder is completely wiped, for example. When I create the Restore Job, I am using "View by Resource" and I find the (for example) \\server\share\path\path\username folder from the Full backup on October 1st. Now, I also have to find each instance of \\server\share\path\path\username under "View by Resource" for EACH date, October 2nd through October 28th, to make sure all files are restored since the Full backup. That should successfully restore all the users data to the latest date, October 28th. BUT..... Is there an EASIER way to do this? Having to navigate through "View by Resource" for 29 different days and selecting each day is, cumbersome... Is there an EASIER way to way incremental restores I'm not thinking of??(we're on version 12.5) (I was hoping there's some option for "restore the entire contents of this particular folder going back to such and such date")???
