Oh, sorry, yeah I remember seeing that before. So here is my issue:
1. There was a good volume with a Full Backup and then 2 or 3
incrementals after that.
2. The next incremental said it could not find a good Full Backup so it
made another Full.
3. I checked the next Incremental and it did see the last Full Backup.
So I assume *something* happened to the Full Backup, not sure what that
could be at this point but now I am
using double the disk space (this is a disk backup) so I wanted to
release that space as the space will remain used
until Max Full Interval is reached. I read somewhere in the list archive
that you must manually remove the volume
on disk (assuming one Volume per Backup) if you want to free up the space.
So I want to make sure that the Volume *should* get physically deleted
when the Max Full Interval is reached, is
that so? This assuming one volume per backup, AutoPrune and Recycle are yes.
Thank you,
Randy
