Hello, I use backup strategy of the sample config (3 level). But it does only work if there is no interuption. Because the selection of the proper media is done by RetensionPeriod and VolumeUseDuration.
If I specify a VolumeUseDuration of 6 for inc level for each day of the week except sunday and it happens the the client is not connect during the time of a planned backup the sixed usage happens the next monday and media is switched not before tuesday. If the client is not connected on sunday (day for diff backup) the diff level is kept out completely and if the inc level is configured to keep the media of up to 2 weeks then it may happen that a necessary inc level media is reused before a new diff level backup was made. And all this just because the client was not connected on one certain day. I think it would be much better that a missed scheduled backup would be done at the next schedule time even when there was lower level planned then. And it would be better if I could specify that the run of a higher level backup triggers the media change for the lower levels. Since I think my scenario is quite common I hope that there is already a way to configure it properly which I am not awere of, yet. Please tell me!
