Hi All,
I have currently taken over looking after our backups and at current our backups are not grandfather father son as i think they should be.
At present we have daily incremental backups that run 6 days of the week and then weekly and a monthly backups.
Our daily weekly and monthly backups are not linked in any way they are simply backup of data at that point in time. The way i believe they should work is as below:
Daily Backup at the end of the week link into the weekly backup
Weekly backups at the end of the month link into the monthly backup
I have created a policy as a test to backup data using the grandfather father son method by backing up data daily (differential) weekly full and then monthly full, however the daily and weekly and monthly data are not merged so to speak. I must be missing something somewhere just do not no where!
Any help would be really helpful.
Thanks
Danny
