Incremental backup question

[Chris1]

Hello,

If I set up a backup schedule to only do incremental backups (no full backups) and keep a maximum of 10 in the server repository, would this work considering there are no full backups present. Or would it fail after 10 because the first one it backed up would be deleted when it tried to generate the 11th incremental backup?

Do the incremental backups combine together to eliminate the need for occasional full backups?

Hi,

well you will always need a full backup to be able to do an incremental backup.
Usually it should create a full backup on day one. As of day 2-10 it will create incremental backups.
On the 11th day it should create a full backup again and delete day 1-10. At least this is what I would expect it to do
