At the moment I can only retain the last 10 days of backups for example. However, what would be nice, for example, is to have a backup task run hourly and then retain the following:

24 x backups for the last 1 day ( hourly )
7 x backups for the last 1 week ( daily )
4 x backups for the last month ( weekly )
12 x backups for the last year ( monthly )
1 x backups for the last 3 years

I hope that make sense? It means my backups can span a long time duration in total, but have a small time period in the times that it matters.

I suppose in theory i could do this with 5 backup tasks, but it seems overkill to run a backup on the database 5 times, would be nicer to roll this into one backup with a more advanced retention period.

Thanks,
