[BackupPC-users] Restore job started again and overwrote progress

2020-02-13 Thread Ethan Tarr
Is there a reason why BackupPC 3.3.0 would automatically restart the same restore job immediately after finishing it? We had a RAID array go down a couple weeks ago. After replacing the drives and rebuilding the array, I found that a .vhdx file used by the one of the two VMs was corrupted, so I

Yes. In your setup all the incremental-unfilled are deltas with respect to the last incremental-filled (see the level column).

[BackupPC-users] Incrementals and Full backups on v4

2020-02-13 Thread Gandalf Corvotempesta
Just a confirm: if I have a full backup done on 2020-01-14 (doing 1 full each month) and daily incrementals, keeping up to 14 incrementals, I have data loss ? In example, the incremental done yesterday (2020-02-12), is relative to the incremental done on 2020-01-14 ? How does it work, exactly ?
