Arconis Backup questions..

[Admiral Huddy]

I’m trying to set up a backup schedule using Arconis True Image that can be left to its own devices.

I’ve created a monthly fill backup schedule and a daily differential backup schedule.

So I’ve created a full backup as a start and the schedule rightly creates a new differential backup file each day, which is fine. However, one thing that did spring to mind is that there appears to be no rotation. This means that at some point, the number of differential files will just keep growing.

My question is, when does the system rotate? And is there any way of controlling this?

Do the differential backups start all over again at the next full scheduled backup.

If not, I’d have think about performing some kind of manual house keeping (i.e. delete the older differentials) and reset the schedule over again.

Basically, I want to leave the user with absolutely nothing to do.

Am I missing something here?

Client is insisting on Arconis, personally I prefer SyncbackSE
