Hi Erwann

I am really lost..
As sent in my previus message , in the test I did.After an backup image (fulll)
made a change on one file.
And run a backup image F: -mode=incremental
And so in the stat that only one file was backup !!!!!
So the option -mode=in remental is valid and respected
the problem after it when run ing a restore backup image got the source file 
and not the changed file.

Regards Robert

Hi Robert,

I think that -incremental and –deletefiles are not available (or ignored) with 
-imagetofile. It makes sense since -incremental would lead to a file restore whereas 
-imagetofile leads to a bloc restore.

You should note that –deletefiles is not availbale (or ignored) if your backup 
has been done like you do : backup image F: -mode=incremental

Hello Ronald

Make sense ….  But still

I made today a little test

1.    Run a backup image   F:  (Full)   (On it I have there a file test.txt with content: 
“First full backup Image”)

2.  Edit this file test.txt and overwrite with “Incremental backup image”

3.: run a backup image F: -mode=incremental

See  below the output (seems good)

tsm> backup image f: -mode=incremental

4.  did an:   restore image F: E:\DiskF.iso –imagetofile  -incremental 
–deletefiles

5.But on the file DiskF.iso I see on the test.txt file the content of: “First full backup 
Image”  and not  “Incremental backup image”

I know I missed something but I can’t figure WHAT ???

Best Regards

Robert

Robert,

You cannot perform a normal incremental once you have performed a full image, 
unless you have two separate nodes, one doing image backups and one doing file 
by file backups.  You can do incremental image backups but not an file by file 
incremental.
