Question for you Kamil..

[ayufan]

Full backup every week, and as many differentials as needed.

To restore you need full backup and latest differential.
The situation that you describe is incremental backups.

Yes, it is feasible, but it is also very likely that your differential will grow over time,
as amount of data changed compared to full backup will be substantional.

Hi thanks for the reply.
I found out I am actually limited via the GUI to a maximum of 60 (Full Backup Every)

Yes you are right, essentially if the aggregate changes of all diff snapshots exceed a certain amount, a full backup is a better choice.

I was trying to setup a daily full (but only stored changed data) with a combo of your patches and borg backup. Many of my vms I don't move very much data in and out so the diff would be fairly predictably small.

"As many differentials as needed"
Differential backups need to be called by the backup scheduler right? They cannot be run via the gui on as needed basis can they?

Yes. Diffs are run on schedule
