How to use

Set source size, full/incremental intervals, change rate, retention model, compression, and copies.

Restoring an incremental backup can require a full backup and earlier increments. Inspect dependencies outside the nominal retention window rather than counting only recent files. Recovery testing and compression measurements remain separate tasks.
