Hi all,
As the title says, 2 days ago my Windows Server Backup erased ALL of my previous backups when the disk was full. I was under the impression it was supposed to only delete the oldest backups first to make room for more copies. I have attempted to recover backups from before 2 days ago, but there is nothing available for dates older than 30 November 2016.
On the 7th September 2016 I had the following backups: 221 copies available Oldest available: 25 February 2016.Capacity: 931.49 GB Total used space: 928.71 Space used by backup items: 300.04 Gb, Space used by backup copies: 628.67 Gb
Today I have the following: 2 copies available Oldest available: 30 November 2016. Capacity: 931.49 GB Total used space: 309.65 Space used by backup items: 303.44 Gb, Space used by backup copies: 6.22 GB
Can someone please explain why this would occur, and if there's any options that I can select/un-select so that in future, when my backup disk is full, Windows Server Backup doesn't automatically erase ALL of my backups again?
Also, is there any way I can get these backups back?
Regards,
Michael
