I have the modules installed right now. I will look at changing things to incremental. I am guessing if I want to runn it between certain hours then I change the Probe start and end time?

First of all - familiarize with the product and the configuration.

Next - it depends on whether you want to use the NW module at all or not.

A lot of customers still use file backups (they export the db) and backup the log files.

If so, the rest is pretty simple ...

  - Create a new group where you change the default "interval" from 24:00hrs to 01:00hrs.

      You may want to override the Level to "incr".

  - then create an appropriate client where

      - the save set points only to the log directory

      - you assign him as a member of the new group.

  - Start the group to test its functionality

  - Finally not forget to switch the group's "Autostart" parameter to "Enabled".

If you use the module, you need to install that and configure the client (via the wizard).

so from what I understand I can leave my daily,weekly, monthly jobs as is. Then I can change my hourly backups to incremental and use a file level backup to grab the log files and only hold those logs for say 2 days just in case? The problem I had before was after 2 days the log files were not being purged.

Many wrong assumptions.

Since you have module installed do following:

- create group for DB backup

- create group for TLOG backup

- create schedule for DB backup (eg. full every day)

- create schedule for TLOG backup (incr every day)

- create client for DB backup and assign schedule to it and group which is appropriate

- create client for TLOG backup and assign schedule to it and group which is appropriate

- assign both groups to appropriate pools

To make sure TLOG runs every 1h, in TLOG group change interval parameter from 24:00 to 1:00.  That's it. 

Don't mix file level and SQL based backups - they are different using different save sets (and SQL uses backup command).
