Finally, we create retention rules for the archive: let us retain only backups that are no older than six

months, and let the cleanup be performed after each backup task and also on the last day of every

month.

Retention rules: Delete backups older than 6 months

Apply the rules: After backing up, On schedule

Cleanup schedule: Monthly, on the Last day of All months, at 10:00 PM

By default, a backup is not deleted as long as it has dependent backups that must be kept. For

example, if a full backup has become subject to deletion, but there are incremental or differential

backups that depend on it, the deletion is postponed until all the dependent backups can be deleted

as well.

For more information, see Retention rules (p. 39).

Resulting tasks

Any custom scheme always produces three backup tasks and—in case the retention rules are

specified—a cleanup task. Each task is listed in the list of tasks either as Scheduled (if the schedule

has been set up) or as Manual (if the schedule has not been set up).

You can manually run any backup task or cleanup task at any time, regardless of whether it has a

schedule.

In the first of the previous examples, we set up a schedule only for full backups. However, the

scheme will still result in three backup tasks, enabling you to manually start a backup of any type:

 Full backup, runs every Friday at 10:00 PM

 Incremental backup, runs manually

 Differential backup, runs manually

You can run any of these backup tasks by selecting it from the list of tasks in the Backup plans and

tasks section in the left pane.

If you have also specified the retention rules in your backup scheme, the scheme will result in four

tasks: three backup tasks and one cleanup task.

6.2.10.7 Initial seeding

This backup scheme is only available when you have an Initial Seeding license and selected the Online

Backup Storage as the backup destination.

Initial seeding enables you to transfer the first backup, which is full and usually the largest, to the

online storage on a hard drive instead of over the Internet. Subsequent backups, which are all

incremental and thus usually much smaller, can be transferred over the Internet after the full backup

has arrived in the online storage.

If you back up a large amount of data, initial seeding ensures faster delivery of the backed-up data

and lower traffic costs.

Please refer to the "Initial Seeding FAQ (p. 372)" section for more details.
