Hello I have setup 3 snapshot policies on source server; hourly/retention 3 days, daily/retention 2 weeks, weekly/retention 3 months. That seems to be working properly. Snapshots names are in the default format for each auto-%Y-%m-%d_%H-%M. The date/times conflict for some of the snapshots but everything seems to be working, I don't know if it fails or recreates the snapshot when that is the case.
I have a backup server configured to replicate by pulling snapshots from the source. I don't wish to have the same retention as source, that seems dangerous for a backup server to mimic deletions of snapshots on the file server. I also wish not to backup all snapshots, I wish to only replicate the dailies, week, and monthly. I do not wish to backup the hourly. I attempted to create separate replication task to complete this, however it worked for the dailies, the week task though said it would erase all existing snapshots on first execution.
How should I accomplish what I am wishing to? Thank you!
