hi,
i want to ask how to configure server backup to create several backup copies (for example, I want to keep 3 versions of full backup).
it looks, that i can not configure a backup to network share - it keeps only 1 version.
and, if backup makes incrementioal backup, when it makes a full one? how long time it makes incremential. is there a documentation about this?

Hi,
And incremental backup will run until until you stop it. It will start from the last full backup (FB), and the, every time it runs, it will backup data there haven't been backed up since the last incremental backup (IB), or Full Backup. I normally makes a weekly plan, looking like this. Mon (FB), TUE (IB), WED (IB), THU (IB), FRI (IB), SAT (IB), SUN (IB), and the Monday it starts all over, with a Full Backup.
Regarding keeping backup's it seems to be fairly simple (windows backup). Maybe the way to keep more than one version, is to have multiple schedueles for Full Backup..

thanks for answer. This schema is possible to make with default Windows Server Backup software (server 2012)? I see only one schedule :(
for professional needs a 3rd part software?

It appears that the gui only allows one schedueled backup. You can use 'wbadmin start backup' and 'task schedueler' to create multiple backup tasks.
