An example of a rotation scheme
Below is an example to illustrate creation of a rotation scheme. You need to enter your own data to create your own rotation scheme.
The scheme and settings
This scheme is shown on the Simple Rotation Scheme help page. It should create a full backup every Sunday and differential backups every other day. The task should start at 5:00 PM and 3 full backup images should always be kept.
It has the following parameters:
|
Simple |
|
|
Imaging mode |
Differential |
|
Full image every |
6 images |
|
Maximum number of full images |
3 |
|
Maximum image files age |
20 days |
|
Maximum number of image files |
22 |
|
Maximum size of all image files |
500000 MB |
|
Apply quota |
After imaging |
|
Always leave first full image |
No |
The setting should be the following:
On the Rotation options panel
The following setting should be specified:
Simple rotation scheme
On the Task execution schedule panel:
The following setting should be specified:
Task execution schedule
And the task should be activated on Monday, say, August 2, 2021.
File name convention:
|
Full backup: |
<FIleName>_<Date_of_First_Backup>_<Time_of_First_Backup>_1.rdr |
|
Differential backup: |
<FIleName>_<Date_of_First_Backup>_<Time_of_First_Backup>_1_N+1.rdr |
N is the number of differential backup
