Re: Prevent Overwrite on Monthly Backup Job

Tech-Archive recommends: Speed Up your PC by fixing your registry

Hi Amnon,

Backup is about 65GB.

Another way would be to create 12 backup jobs each to run once at the end of
the month into a separate folder on the backup drive.

Cheers,
Bill

The only way I can think of is a batch file. I assume the goal is to keep
one year of month end copies?
How big is your backup size wise?

Backing up SBS 2003 R2 to external HDD. The SBS daily backup always
creates a new copy until the max number of copies is reached then
overwrites the oldest one.

I have created another backup job to run on the last Saturday of each
month and I don't want it to overwrite until after 12 backups.

I can't see how to do this using the wizard. Is it possible? I can't see
any ntbackup commands that could accomplish this.

Anyone know how to do this, please?
