Hi  jhon,

Yes , you will need to have two jobs for every different backup . 

What are the differences between Differential and Incremental backups ?

http://seer.entsupport.symantec.com/docs/230247.htm

The advantage of a Differential comes at restore time; you'll need only the last full backup and the last differential to get a complete restore. In the case of restoring with Incremental backups, all the Incremental backups since the last full backup plus the last full backup would be necessary.

If you setup a new device it will be easier to manage the bkf files.  You also need to setup media set with the overwrite protection .

Hi Harmstrong

thank you for replay

Do I need to do for every job (I use B2D ) a different media and different device? For every full and differential backup?

and how  do I  save information for 1 week back and after the system should write on it again

Thank you again

You can set your media set overwrite protection to not allow it to be overwritten for x number of days.  Go to the media tab, right click on the media set you are using and go to properties.
