Hi there,
I've just installed SSR 2003 SP2, and cannot figure out how to create an incremental backup.
I've created the initial backup, and want to have a weekly full backup on Sunday, and incrementals during work hours through the week.
How do I set this up? I can't find a simple explanation in the user guide. Or have I missed something?
Is there a document somewhere that explains this?
Thanks,
Steve.

May be I can help you understand how to set the incremental on weekly basis assuming you are choosing the option "Recovery point set"
Open the console -> Edit the backup job -> Click Next ( 3 times)
On "Options" pane the outer schedule is for incrementals and under "create a new recovery point base" once you click on "Custom" the inside schedule is for "Full recovery points"
So choose the days n time for full backups under Custom and for outside schedule choose the day n time for incremantals
Please check the screen shot
Note : If you choose the option "Independent recovery point" type of backup it will not give you the option for creating incremental backups

Hi Markus,
I looked through that. What page / section is it in?
Ta,
Steve.

Page 85 is especially interesting for you I think.
