Chains & backup storage

[McHenry]

I am trying to manage backup storage for a CR job.

Does every schedule within a backup job create a chain? Meaning, if I have three schedules then this will create three independent chains and each chain has a full backup?

So, to reduce storage consumption, the fewer schedules within a job the better?

Hi,

IIRC, the scheduler is smart, if it's using the same time, it will reuse snapshots as possible. @florent could give more details when he's around
