Example: last Full (day-7) backup in 2014 = Sun 28 Dec. You should therefore probably avoid manually deleting the 7.2014-FULL folder until the first 7.2015-FULL backup has happened, otherwise you would not be able to perform a full Restore if a disaster happened during that changeover period. It is thus more likely that some or all of the weekday numbers 1-6 in 2015 will contain differential copies (only) as dictated by (and with reference to) the last 2014 database.
The odds are 7-1 against the year changeover (thus, the first run in which the value %YEAR% will evaluate to 2015) occurring on the same day the Rescan When setting generates a Full backup on Sundays. There's also another point to bear in mind if you maintain your current Rescan When logic > all files again, thus 'two sets', and space needed to store them). Fine if you want that (and have the space) but remember the very first Full run with the new 2015 year-value as part of its path\name will also copy exactly what its name implies, i.e.
The 7-ATX SERVER 2014-FULL folder will of course contain a full copy of all files stored in it as of last date the profile addressed it in 2014. Fine, if you want such files (in such old-date folders) for archival purposes, but remember that those differential changes in the 1-6.2014-DIFF range will probably become increasingly irrelevant as the weeks pass. To auto-generate new folders that include the current year value as part of their name, but at the start of the new year, the folders that contain '2014' as part of their name will be 'orphaned' (they will remain present, but will no longer be processed, because now the profile is pointing at another set of '2015' paths/folders, which by default it will create if 'not found'). I use the following to determine the name of the destination: ":\%DAYOFWEEK%-ATX SERVER %YEAR%-FULL\
On Day 7 (Sunday) it runs as a full backup. 6 of the days it runs, it runs as a differential backup. I have a fast backup that runs 7 days a week. New here, i've posted one question and I received great help so I'm hoping the same happens with this question.
