How to Use Scheduling
Aug 1
st
, 2007 at 12:47am
I once had my ghost 9 schedule set up so that I did an incremental every Sunday, and a baseline on the end of the month. Since the time that it occured was set at 1:00pm, and the only time that the system was up at 1:00pm was on a Sunday, it made baselines rarely, but sufficiently, and incrementals most of the time. I was happy.
Now, I have lost the recipe. All I can get are baselines every Sunday.
The ghost 9 scheduling choices are very confusing. Can anyone please explain how to make sense of them?
Thanks,
Dave

Dbird, have you reviewed pages 38+ in the
Norton Ghost 9.0 User’s Guide
? It has a good description of the scheduling functionality.

Yes. Even though I have it set for monthly, with Full backups on the last day of the month, and incremental backups on Sunday every week, all it ever does now is full backups on Sunday every week.
The little summary of the job description reflects what I have selected in the job description. The next scheduled "Backup" is 8/31/07, the next scheduled "Incremental" will be 8/5/07. This is consistent with the setting last week, and several weeks previous. But all I ever get now is Auto Base Backup every time. Never any incrementals.
Thanks,
Dave

Dave,
Have you tried deleting the backup job and recreating the job for the same days?
When do you defrag your HD? That can make a huge difference to the incremental file size and occasionally lead to a Baseline recovery point instead of an incremental. But not every time like your situation.

I'll try deleting and recreating the backup job.
Should I expect it to make a new baseline the first time again? Or should it recognize the existing baseline and make an incremental?
Thanks

Yes. You will have to wait for the second recovery point to see an incremental.
