Understanding multiple schedules
-
I wish to perform a daily delta backup and a monthly full backup, as shown below:
Does this mean the daily chain will be reset after each monthly?
i.e. On 2nd the chain will be Monthly Full + Daily Delta
-
@McHenry the second pattern
0 20 1 * *reads asAt 8PM on the first day of the monthrun your full backup.The first is to run a delta at the same time every day of the month, besides the first of the month.
-
Does this mean the daily delta chain will be reset on the 1st of each month when a full backup is performed?

@McHenry
To my experience, no. There will always be 31 deltas
After a few month's it can look like this:
MMMddddddddddddddddddddMddddddddddd -
Thank you but still not 100% clear.
As we want to reset the delta chain periodically with a full backup, does the monthly full backup achieve this goal?
My question is ultimately, what is the maximum length of the delta chain in this scenario?

I don't know offhand if the full then creates new delta's from that point forward, as I recall the delta depth is pretty damn good (I've never had to restore from a full).
Maybe someone from the vates team will pop in and know the answer.

Can you clarify please?

Please don't ping me directly, I can't clone myself
And no, I can't clarify, I don't have time right now. Maybe @lsouai-vates can -
