Hello,
I am hoping someone here can point me in the right direction. I have a Server 2012 R2 Essentials box that is used as a file server. It just shares files and performs no other services. I have it connected to a 3TB USB IO Safe for backup purposes. Counting the system drive (c:) and the data drive (E:) I am only using less than 250GB.
I setup the Windows Server Backup using the schedule wizard to back up nightly at 12:30 in the morning. It shows each night as successful, but rub is that is is only doing incremental backups. What I am trying to do, is to have it do a FULL backup nightly, and save as separate files on the IO Safe, and only keep 1 week (7 days) of backups.
I have tried several times to do this using the wizard and cannot seem to figure out a way to make this happen. As a background note, I am not really a IT guy, I was the one whose was volentold into assuming the responsibility. So this may be a simple task, I just am not sure where to find the options for what I want.
Thank you in advance for any help that you can provide.
Rob
