No more Full backups

Post by LMD »

For the last 10 days or so, Cobian Reflector has only been making incremental backups. There are no more full backups, even when the number of incremental backups has been reached.
I upgraded to version 2.6.50, same problem.
Any idea how to fix this?
Thanks

Check the Dynamic tab.

Values on Dynamic tab are unchanged from 10 days ago :
- full backup copies to keep = 2
- full backup every = 8
At this point I have 10 to 12 (depending on tasks) partial backups.
I also noticed that the "Historical" Tab is not updated, even there is new partoal backups in the backup directory.

Perhaps you have multiple destinations? Just guessing.

No, there is only one destination (my Synology).
Is there a way to "reset" these count number ?
Do I have to drop all my conf and restart from start ? (without having to backup again my 6To+ of data ...)
Thanks.

You can simulate a full backup and see how it goes. Payattention to the log. There must be a reason why it's not triggering.

Just try this.
There is very few info in the log, only 1 line :
2024-02-25 08:40:00 Simulation d'une sauvegarde complète pour la tâche sélectionnée.
Settings are :
- Keep two full backups
- Full every 8 incrementals
At this time, there is 10 incrementals in my synology.

After one-time full backup, incrementals used to create virtual full database backups on a daily basis. Taylor Swift 2048

Tested with those settings. Works fine here.
