Re: Question about "second and subsequent full backups are differentials" (and also Retrospect)

"Second and subsequent full backups are differentials" is an excellent option for saving disk space on your backup destination drive. When this feature was added it was anticipated that it would be widely used but it doesn't appear that it has, probably due to lack of exposure / information...

Re: I don't understand one thing in continuous incrementals

Any time you are continuously adding image files you will eventually run out of disk space. However, after one year of using the 7, 30, 90 retention you may only have 9 more files than you did after the first 3 or 4 months of the chain. Basically there is a moving window of 3 to 4 months of collapse...

Re: Base image created by Backup Image Tool

The only recommended use of the 'continuous incremental' job is in conjunction with ImageManager.

Re: Getting my head around continuous incrementals and Image Manger

The only thing missing in your description is the monthly collapse (-cd-cm, or -cd-cw-cm) which occurs each month based on the create time of the earliest full backup image in the directory. These monthly collapse files always remain in the directory so beyond the 90 day period of weekly image files...

Re: Upgraded to v3.2 now Imagemanager client won't connect to server

I am experiencing a similar problem as RobF. StorageCraft ImageManager client does not see my server or a NAS on my network.

ImageManager is not collapsing my Continuous Incrementals

I have a Continuous Incrementals schedule to take backups every 20 minutes. I then installed ImageManager and created a policy to collapse them automatically, but I have not seen it do one collapse yet. I even left my machine on for 30 hours continously to check it wasn't a problem with the schedule...

Re: NAS and ImageManager

Hello Nate, Thanks for the reply. This is happening on two NAS boxes we have. They are a Buffalo Linkstation Pro and Dlink DNS-323, they both have latest firmware as this is the first thing we do with any kit straight out the box. Well I have created a scheduled task which stops and starts the service...

NAS and ImageManager

Hello All, With ShadowProtect I can get our test NAS Boxes working fine but ImageManager is having issues. Was wondering if anyone else has had any success or failure with a particular NAS box? The units I have tested so far without much success are: DLINK DNS-323 BUFFALO LinkStation LS-GL Thanks, Simon
