Windows Forum / Windows XP / Performance and Maintainance / March 2008Backup Limitations
Are there limitations to the number of incremental backups that the Backup utility will preform? I seem to only see 30 in the backup folder and then none after that. Thank you for any replies. I honestly do not know whether there is a programmed limitation on incremental backups in Microsoft Backup. However, I can tell you from a best practices POV that 30 incrementals is way too much to carry. The more incrementals the greater the risk of loss if one of them should become unusable. --- Leonard Grey Errare humanum est > Are there limitations to the number of incremental backups that the Backup > utility will preform?

We are backing up My Docs, .pst file, and favorites to a network attached storage device (NAS). This is a stop gap measure until we get the user profiles to route to a network share.

I'm not trying to avoid giving you answer, however best practices for backup depends very much on the environment and the available hardware. For example, is this for your home network, for a business, are databases involved, what software is used for backing up, etc. etc. A web search will get you much more information than can be written in a news post. Tons more. And from people who work in your type of environment. --- Leonard Grey Errare humanum est > Thanks for your reply, what would be your best practice recommendation? > Normal, differential?
