Summary:

How do I adjust the maximum number of Incremental backups?

This article applies to:

Carbonite Plans	Products	Platforms
Power and Ultimate (Not sure?)	Carbonite Safe Server Backup (Not sure?)	Windows

Solution:

Starting with CSSB 6.8, there is no longer a maximum number of incremental backups in a single cycle. If you are running an earlier version of CSSB, please update to the latest version.

If you are unable to update to the current version of CSSB due to being on a legacy Operating System, the below limitation will still apply:

By default, Carbonite Safe Server Backup only allows the user to run 300 Incremental backups. However, users can adjust the Windows Registry to allow up to 500 incremental backups. CSSB versions below version 6.8 do not support an Incrementals forever approach to backups.
