Configure FFI Schedule and Intelligent Retention

Enable Forever Forward Incremental Schedule

To enable the Forever Forward Incremental schedule in CLI, use the -ffi parameter. This parameter configures a Forever Forward incremental schedule. This parameter is not compatible with the GFS retention policy. The parameter must be used with schedule settings and combined with the -purge parameter.

Possible values:

• yes
• no (default)

Command example:

addbackupplan -n "mynewplan" -a "myaccount" -d "c:\backup\" -ffi yes -every month -day 15 -at 12:30 -purge "1m"

Intelligent Retention in CLI

To enable the Intelligent Retention schedule in CLI, use the -ir parameter. This parameter is used with the -ffi (Forever Forward Incremental) parameter.

Possible values:

• yes (default)
• no (not recommended)

Command example:

addbackupplan -n "mynewplan" -a "myaccount" -d "c:\backup\" -ffi yes -ir yes -every month -day 15 -at 12:30 -purge "1m"
