Subject: [Networker] Question on full expirations and subsequent
incrementals

Hello,
Given that I have one full backup with a certain expiration date. I do 
incrementals periodically subsequently.

What happens when that full expires? 

I see several possibilities:
1. The full doesn't expire because it has subsequent dependencies, or
2. The next incremental notes that there is no full, so it forces a
full, 
or
3. something really stupid, like just looks at everything that is newer 
than the last incremental, continues to do incrementals, but has no full

from which to base a restore if one is required, or
4. something else.

Does anyone know exactly what happens?
Thanks,
/ Sid /
