I want to backup a fileserver of around 4TB with:
- Daily restore points for 14 days
- Weekly restore points for 4 weeks
- Monthly restore points 6 months
What is the best way to do this taking in account the fact that we want to save as much space as possible while still retaining good restore possibilities.
I was thinking to configure 3 different jobs (3 fulls with each incrementals on top). Or can I use one full backup with 3 jobs to save that each add increments on that 1 full to save space or is that very risky (keeping only 1 full)?
Should I have more than 1 active full?
Maybe there is a better way.
