I guess I am not sure if a Full backup will override the existing backup. Does a full backup override only retired backups? So does this mean I have to set the volume to expire in 3 months and schedule a full job in 3 months + 1 day? What I don't want is to have a second volume created because the drive is only 1TB and another full backup + existing incrementals will exceed the capacity. > > > > 2) Can you force the Full backup to expire on a weekend? > > > Why would you want to? I want to force the job to run on weekends because I don't know if 6 hours will be enough to backup 400 GB, M-F. +---------------------------------------------------------------------- |This was sent by ikkysle...@gmail.com via Backup Central. |Forward SPAM to ab...@backupcentral.com. +---------------------------------------------------------------------- ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Download Intel® Parallel Studio Eval Try the new software tools for yourself.
