Weekly/Monthly 

This step forms the daily, weekly and monthly cycles in the schedule. 

Select a day of the week from the days selected in the previous step. Each 1st, 2nd and 3rd 
backup created on this day of the week will be considered as a weekly backup. Each 4th backup 
created on this day of the week will be considered as a monthly backup. Backups created on the 
other days will be considered as daily backups. 

Assume you select Friday for Weekly/Monthly backup. Here is the total schedule marked out 
according to the selection. 

“D” stands for the backup that is considered Daily. “W” stands for the backup that is considered 
Weekly. “M” stands for the backup that is considered Monthly. 

 

Acronis uses incremental and differential backups that help save storage space and optimize the 
cleanup so that consolidation is not needed. In terms of backup methods, weekly backup is 
differential (Dif), monthly backup is full (F) and daily backup is incremental (I). The first backup is 
always full. 

The Weekly/Monthly parameter splits the total schedule into daily, weekly and monthly 
schedules. 

Assume you select Friday for Weekly/Monthly backup. Here is the real schedule of the backup 
tasks that will be created. 

 

Keep backups: Daily 

This step defines the retention rule for daily backups. The cleanup task will run after each daily
