I have a bit of an oddity.
 
I'm testing Synthetic Backups.
 
I have
 
Day 1 Full backup.
Day 2 Incremental
Day 3 Synthetic-Full
Day 4 Incremental (and manually expire the Day 1 Full)
Day 5 Full backup runs
 
So it appears I need to keep the Full backup around even though the Synthetic Full is suppose to be its equivalent.
 
The Full backup runs on Day 5 even though I don't have it scheduled. In Fact Full are manual. Synthetics are scheduled.
 
Is this normal?
 
Running 6.5.4
 
Jim
