This took a bit of a faff, so I’ll write down here now I have worked it out.
I have a client which has four hard disks. I want three different backups as not all of this data changes every day. No point backing up the Media Drives daily when they 95% are the same every month.
- System drive - image backup every three days.
- Data drive - regular \ every few hours file backup
- Two Media drives - monthly file backups
This is done with “Virtual Sub Clients” but instructions are missing, and the only links on the forum are out of date ( Trying to create 2 different backup on 2 different timing - #2 by Ceisc )
Those instructions mention “Separate settings for this client” tick box, which now does not exist.
Setup your first backup for the client. The default one to handle the C drive.
Next go to settings and select that Client from the drop down list.
Go to the CLIENT tab and enter your new virtual sub client names in the box. I used Fast and Slow in my example. Separate them with a | character (RTFM)
Now hit SAVE and wait a bit. Then check the General page and you’ll see the new clients to configure.
Go back into Settings, select the new client BRAIN-DAMAGE[Slow] from the drop down and setup the custom folder choice as required.
Repeat for all Virtual Sub Clients
And all three can be separately configured.
One thing not obvious to me was the separator is a BAR character | and not the semi-colon used elsewhere.
