add "weekly" backup to new backup system without keep 7 days of retentions
If we want to have weekly backup on "new"cpanel backup system, we need to make daily run everyday.
If this way, we need to keep "7" retentions of daily backup that will cost us a lot to upgrade backup drives
We just want to keep:
- daily => one retention so if server crashes, we have "latest" backup to restore
- weekly => one retention too, to let client could find old files when they make mistakes on file edition and do not notice it in time
Most of the time, weekly is the most useful backup files for clients coz 95% of them notice problems days later, so daily is usually not useful but just for server disaster use.
Also, we do NOT want client to restore 7 DAYS of backup from MON-SUN for just trying to find what they want, which might cause server problems.
so, to resolve these issues, please add a function to let us decide "how many retentions" too keep on each frequency.
I like this idea

This is absolutely needed . We have lost a level of back up under the new system.

The weekly backup option is still maintained in the Legacy Backup System. Are you saying that you want a "Backup Weekly" option under the "Scheduling and Retention" section of the new backup system?

Pretty much a no brainer. Why cPanel doesn't get this is beyond me.

Ken thanks for the update. While I do not have a box that I can run an edge release on, I am fully confident that this request is being fully addressed and I do appreciate that the c{anel folks listen to requests and feedback form users.

Please i need the weekly backup feature retained in the new backup system. It is the most used backup out of all 3.
Thanks.
