Re: [Veritas-bu] New backup

Read about "calendar" and "frequency" schedules. Determine which you have or want.
I much prefer calendar schedules and my "full" backups have "retry after run day" set. I have a "full" start window on every day and my calendar schedule has a check for one day each week, often Saturday.
My "Incremental" backups have the same start windows and every day of the calendar month is checked for a backup.
With this setup, I get an incremental backup every day, except for the full backup day. In addition, if a full backup fails, the next day will be a full backup day ... in fact full backups until one completes.
Sorry, but I can't answer your direct question as it is uninteresting for me ... I always start a (full) backup once configured to make sure it works. This gives me the earliest backup, time to work around problems such as firewalls, and with modern machines and networks, only a minor hit on performance ... and on new machines, people generally aren't using it yet for production or don't have expectations set from experience!
Cheers, Wayne

If you were to add a backup for the first time on a
day that the policy has an Incremental specified, would it automatically
promote to full.
