I know the first part. If you use one policy to run a Full
backup (Flash or otherwise) and then you run a Differential from a different
policy, the Differential is going to backup everything and continue backing up
everything until a Full backup finishes successfully. A Differential, by definition,
picks up all of the changes since the last Full backup. So the
Full and the Differential should be in the same policy. I’m
wondering why you would see the need for two different policies?
The second part is a little confusing but Flashbackup can be
configured for Fulls and Differentials. In saying that I think I
just figured out your original question. You want to create a Flashbackup
policy to get a Full backup and then a different policy with a different type
to run “normal” Differentials? If that’s what you’re
asking then refer back to the first paragraph. Just create the
Flashbackup policy and let it also run Flashbackup Differentials along with the
Flashbackup Fulls.

All,
Can a
Full backup be set up using Flashbackup and then have a different policy do
differentials? I might be missing it but the type of backup dictated
from the client side as necessary to get the Flashbackup to work would stop a
normal backup from running, correct?
Regards.
