Backup policy defines the backup strategy for the BackupImageX and BackupGhost jobs for one target computer. You can define the backup policy using the $BackupPolicy$ parameter. Backup jobs create a new image directory with the name of the image as specified in the $ImageXImage$ parameter. You can configure the backup policy to specify the number of backup images that you want to store for one target computer, and the action required when the number of backup images exceed the configured value.
Following are the valid values for the $backuppolicy$ parameter:
Specifies that every backup job using the same image name creates a new image directory by appending 1 to 5 to the directory name. After creating $ImageXImage$5, the backup job fails.
Specifies that every backup job using the same image name overwrites the existing image.
Specifies that backup jobs using the same image name create up to two images and then overwrite the oldest.
Specifies that backup jobs using the same image name create up to three images and then overwrite the oldest.
Specifies that backup jobs using the same image name create up to four images and then overwrite the oldest.
Specifies that backup jobs using the same image name create up to five images and then overwrite the oldest.
Note: Choosing a wrap around action overwrites the oldest of the images when the number of backups exceed configured value. The first backup image directory gets the name from the $ImageXImage$ parameter and the succeeding image directories get the name from $ImageXImage$ with a trailing number (1-4).
