When retention policy is enabled, the only limited number of backup image generation sets can be saved. "Generation set" represents a set of base and the incremental or differential images associated to that base. When the number of backup image sets reaches the preset limitation and another backup image is created, the oldest backup image set is deleted. Please select one of the following options.
|
Option |
Description |
|
Delete both the full and incremental. |
Both full and incremental (differential) images in the oldest generation set are deleted according to the retention policy. |
|
Delete only the incremental |
Select this option to delete only incremental (differential) backup images in the oldest generation set according to the retention policy, but keep full backup images.
* When a backup image is mounted as writable and the backup image is unmounted, the changes made in the backup image will be automatically saved as a differential backup image file. |
* Ensure there is sufficient disk space available in the destination storage where the predefined number of backup image sets are saved according to the retention policy.
If storage space runs out, execution of the backup task will fail.
The backup image will be deleted immediately after exceeding the limit imposed by the retention policy.
When an existing backup task is edited, the old backup image shall not be deleted according to the retention policy. The old backup image as such needs to be manually deleted.
With [Delete older image before new base backup] option enabled, the most obsolete generation is deleted before creating a new image set.
[E-Mail Notification] option may be enabled for backup schedules respectively and you can select [E-Mail Notification] trigger, i.e., [Unsuccessful backup task], [Successful backup task] and [End of backup task].
