Re: [Veritas-bu] Backup policy Clarification

1. Will Mon Incremental (8) will happen as per last full backup ie (Wed Cumulative (4)) or with respect to Sat Full backup (1)?

Incremental will backup all files changed since LAST backup (full or Incr). In your case it will backup all files changed up since Friday (6)

2. Will Wed Cumulative (10) will happen with respect to Sat Full backup (1).

Cumulative will backup all files changed since last FULL backup, In your case – all files changed since Saturday Full (1).

All of this is explained in NetBackup Admin Guide I in Chapter 4 (Policies) in the Schedules section.

Fri Incrémental 6

Sat Full backup 7

Mon Incremental 8

SL No used for just illustration and does not have significance as part of backup.

Due to some policy configuration issue (Sat Full backup 7) did not happened.

Below are my questions.

1. Will Mon Incremental (8) will happen as per last full backup ie (Wed Cumulative (4)) or with respect to Sat Full backup (1)?

2. Will Wed Cumulative (10) will happen with respect to Sat Full backup (1).

Please help me to understand
