How to overcome 2 major Windows Server Backup limitations?

1. Is it possible to keep multiple backup copies when backing up to network drive?

I realize that Windows Server Backup cannot keep multiple backup copies (unless backing up to local drive instead of remote network drive). This defeat the purpose of having a backup because when the local drive failed, the backup failed with it, isn't it?

This can still be overcome by manually rename the backup folder by adding the backup date so that it will create a new backup folder.

2. Is it possible to do a FULL backup of selected folders?

I realize that Windows Server Backup cannot do full backup if you didn't want to backup the whole server. It will always perform incremental backup with selected folder. How can I reset the files and folders so that all the files and subfolders within the selected folders will get backed up?

This cannot be overcome as you will need to retain all past backup folders and there is no way to merge them.
