Hi ,
Did i get your question correctly that you’re trying to get a full backup every time for the file level backup?
At the moment our approach is Incremental forever, only the new and modified data is being backed up.
Thanks and happy New Year!

Hi again, !
There are 2 similar approaches that work best for AD DC’s:
1. Image based backup from the guest machine.
2. VM backup from the host.

Pick the one you like more. Or pick depending in the type of licenses that you have purchased
Thank you!

Hi , Happy New Year!

Can you please send a link to the guide you’re looking at and the page. And a screenshot of what you see on the screen. Just want to make sure it’s not an outdated guide that we missed out unupdated.
That would help a lot.
Thanks

Hi ,
Thanks for your email.
We've recently released the very first version of RA for Mac. At the moment the mac app can't be a host, it can only connect to hosts running under Windows.
Having the mac to host RA connections is on the roadmap and will be released in one of the next versions.
Thanks and Merry Christmas!

In addition to that, the old Server didn’t have image based backup, it used to be file level backup only.

, thanks for reaching out.
Please try reinstalling manually and once the product is there and can be started please go to Tools->Diagnostic, add the link to this thread to the comment field (the big one) and click Send to Support.
We’ll check the diagnostic logs and advise why the auto update didn’t go through. Where the application is being uninstalled, the logs are being left intact for further investigations if needed.
Thank you,
Anton

Hi ,
Oracle states that their OCI is S3-compatible.
It should work via S3-compatible connector. Please check if that really works.
OCI Classic can be added via Openstack connector.
Thanks

, thanks for reaching out.
This is how it works:
1. Backup job (plan) checks the backup source for new or updated data compared with the meta database (we call it the repository).
2. The backup agent backs up the files.
3. Files in their older versions that reside in the backup storage will be deleted according to the retention policy configured.
4. Notifications being sent.

In other words, if you don’t have the machine, nothing backs to new data and nothing deletes existing data.

I think that you can’t see the data because the default backup prefix is the computer name and the new computer has the name that is different from the original computer. Changing the prefix should help.
If not, please open a case with our support team.

Thanks,
Anton

Hi ,
How big is the size of the newly created object?
How did you identify it's a whole object, not changed blocks?
Thanks

Hi ,
How big is your NAS in terms of storage?
With Desktop pro you’ll be able to have up to 5TB of data in the cloud under management including all versions.
Thanks

Hi , thanks for bringing this up.
I’ve filled your request in the system and will report back when we have an update on the ETA.
Thank you.

@All, if you also need this feature, please leave a comment here. Thanks

, the Drive product is more like a personal use software, don’t rely business processes on it, especially on a such scale, the performance might be an issue here. MSP360 ultimate will be the best fit here.
Thanks

Hi ,
tThe interface is the same, the intelligent tier is basically a checkbox in the backup plan configuration.
Mapping a huge drive to the machine that is an interface to S3 might not be a good idea as it might end up slowing down the machine and consuming too much of computer’s resources.
Why using native support for S3 is not something that you consider in the first place?
Thanks

Hi ,
Please define what is “1 year or older”?
The file creation date is earlier than 1 year ago or the file is in the cloud for more than 1 year?
Thanks

Hi ,
Let us check it internally. We'll report back shortly.
Thanks

Hi ,
For file what we do is called Incremental forever. On top of that, you can do block-level incremental.
The very first incremental will do an increment that will be a full (since you're starting from scratch).
With our approach, we don't do full every once in a while, because based on the metadata that we put to every backup run, we can collect the whole dataset for any given point in time when the backup was performed.
Thanks

, using S3 versioning is not required, our approach in storing multiple versions of the same object is universal for all storage providers that we support, including local storage.
Thanks

Hi ,
The answer is no, those files won’t be deleted at the moment of deselecting them. They might be purged according to retention policy settings but it will most likely keep the latest version unless removed manually from the backup storage tab in the backup agent.
Thank you

, Thanks for your question.
What’s your cloud storage provider?
This is the minimum to get started with diagnosing, not guessing :)
Some more lines of logs would be helpful.
If it’s not sufficient, we gonna need to automatically generate a set of logs and send it to us to take a deeper dive.
Thanks

Hi ,
Can you elaborate please?
The Backup scope, your desired result, and the actual result and maybe a ticket number where there are some diagnostic logs would really help here.

Thanks
