Individual Daily Backups

Post by fbarber »

Is there a way to create 1 backup job that will create a full backup for each day of the week and at the end of the week you have 7 backup files (Sun, Mon,...Sat). The daily files should be over-written each week so I can always go back 7 days if needed to reload a file.

I can do this by creating a weekly job for each day of the week, but I was wondering if it is possible to do this operation with one backup job? I tried using the insert tag function to put in the day of the week name in the file name, but each night the new file overwrites the prior file day's file.

Thoughts??

Thanks.

Hi,

Please note that in FBackup you can keep only 1 backup version per job.
You can use our commercial edition: Backup4all, to keep multiple backup versions for each job.
Or you can use 7 jobs in FBackup, one for each day of the week.
Do you know you can monitor your backups remotely with Backup4all Monitor? You can read more here: https://www.backup4all.com/backup4all-monitor.html
