the problem with AI and plugins (especially the database plugins) is that we cannot produce a suitable new full backup on the server by merging an older full + incrementals.
It is probably easiest to imagine that the full backup takes a snapshot of the database and the incrementals only pick up the change-sets to that snapshot.
So when we do a full backup on the client (i.e. no AI) we will get a new snapshot. However, doing a virtual full backup without the client (i.e. what Consolidation does) you will get a new full backup that contains the original snapshot and lots and lots of change-sets to that snapshot.
This would leave you with full backups that keep growing and - what is even worse - with an awful performance on restore, as you'll restore some ancient snapshot and the apply lots and lots of change-sets to that.
Hope that sheds some light on why this doesn't work. Best Regards, Andreas -- Andreas Rogge andreas.ro...@bareos.com Bareos GmbH & Co.
