Add date to target path name
The target path (directory name) of the backup set contains the current date. This makes it possible to use a backup set to create chronological backups or backups with the generation principle.

Week day
The backup directories are overwritten in the following week. You can thus access all data of the past week.

 Generation principle

The MON to THU backup directories are overwritten in the followin week, the Friday archives only every 52 weeks. You can thus access all data from one year.

 The generation principle is bound to the copy backup method . If the generation principle should be limited to backups for one month, older backup directories can automatically be deleted by Z-DBackup.

 This setting is not needed for the Iomega® REV™ Loader 280/560! The REV™ Loader 280/560 is controlled via entries in the action list  prior to and after the backup.

 Delete target drive prior to backup

Z-DBackup can optionally delete (empty) the target drive before the backup.

  WARNING – Possible data loss! Do not use the root directory of your system hard drive for your backups!

 Automatically delete old directories
If chronological backups are used, old backup directories can automatically be deleted by Z-DBackup. You can have old directories deleted when they reach a certain age (in days), or when there are a certain number of backups in the target location, or a combination of the two.

 WARNING – Possible data loss! Do not use the root directory of your system hard drive for your backups!

Do not delete full backup
If this option is activated, the last differential or incremental  full backup is not deleted. Point of reference is the date of the last full backup, i.e. all backups that were created on the same day as the last full backup are not automatically deleted.
