Fabulous, Michael. Thanks for that assurance,

Bob

Hi Bob -

I regularly backup older multi-gigabyte PST files.  I use a 7 day Fill schedule.  BackupPC doesn't actually backup the file if it is unchanged, but it will appear in the backup # of the Filled backup.  I've messed with full backups and filled schedules.   It's all a wash - any pre-existing unchanged file isn't backed up - it simply appears in the backup #.

Craig stated the fulls and filled backups are de-coupled and it appears to be so.  

 

$Conf{FullPeriod}     --- which we want large enough to ensure we NEVER do another full backup

Why?  

$Conf{FillCycle}    --- if we set this >0 would it slow down the day-to-day backup operation?

With these very large files is there any issue with setting$Conf{FullKeepCnt}  >1   ?

Full keep count *seems* to correspond to the number of Filled backups kept around...

I'm not seeing any negative results with keeping FullPeriod at 6.97 and FillCycle at 7.
