Start backup at: Specifies when to start a backup. The default value is 12:00 PM.
Back up on: Specifies the days on which to perform a backup. The default value is
Workdays.
Weekly/Monthly: Specifies which of the days selected in the Back up on field you want to
reserve for weekly and monthly backups. A monthly backup will be
performed every fourth such day. The default value is Friday.
Keep backups: Specifies how long you want the backups to be stored in the archive. A
term can be set in hours, days, weeks, months, or years. For monthly
backups, you can also select Keep indefinitely if you want them to be
saved forever.
The default values for each backup type are as follows.
Daily: 7 days (recommended minimum)
Weekly: 4 weeks
Monthly: indefinitely
The retention period for weekly backups must exceed that for daily
backups; the monthly backups' retention period must be greater than
the weekly backups' retention period.
We recommend setting a retention period of at least one week for daily
backups.
Advanced settings: To specify Advanced scheduling settings (p. 174), click Change in the
Advanced settings area.
At all times, a backup is not deleted until all backups that directly depend on it become subject to deletion as
well. This is why you might see a weekly or a monthly backup remain in the archive for a few days past its
expected expiration date.
If the schedule starts with a daily or a weekly backup, a full backup is created instead.
Examples
Each day of the past week, each week of the past month
Let us consider a GFS backup scheme that many may find useful.
Back up files every day, including weekends
Be able to recover files as of any date over the past seven days
Have access to weekly backups of the past month
Keep monthly backups indefinitely.
Backup scheme parameters can then be set up as follows.
Start backup at: 11:00 PM
Back up on: All days
Weekly/monthly: Saturday (for example)
Keep backups:
Daily: 1 week
