A common practice in scheduling backups is to set the task to run in Full mode (Backup all selected files) on weekly basis, and in increment mode for the rest of the days of the week.
To achieve this using Genie Backup Manager (GBM), the user needs to schedule the same backup job twice; once for the full runs and once for the increments as follows:
- Create a new backup job or edit and existing one.
- Go to Step 5. Schedule.
- Enable Schedule and then select the Advanced Schedule option.
- Under the Full Backup section, set the time that you want the Full backup to run at.
- Now select the other backup type that you prefer to run in between full backups by checking the box next to Incremental Backup or Differential Backup and then choose when you want the backup to run.
- Choose the settings that you prefer under Security Settings and More Settings.
- Save the backup job.
Differential backup is not a supported backup type in the Home edition of GBM.
Applies To: The Pro and the Server editions of Genie Backup Manager (GBM).
