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.
Best Regards,

Hello Erwann
I admit I am quite lost .....
I run a regular incremental backup on disk F: (first time , so like full
backup)
As: INC F: -su=yes
I run a full image backup of F: as: backup image F:
But if I run after a backup image with -mode=incremental got error:
tsm> backup image f: -mode=incremental
ANS1813E Image Backup processing of '\\nasw\f$' finished with failures.
ANS1229E MODE=INCREMENTAL is not valid on
\\?\GLOBALROOT\Device\HarddiskVolumeShadowCopy17. Image backup not
processed.
I erased everything an made a test without doing a regular incremental
backup of disk F as shown below:
tsm> backup image F:
Image backup of volume 'F:'

Of course NO data in the -mode=incremental but NO error ????
What is the correct sequence to have combination of regular incremental
backup and iimage backup ??
Thanks again for the advice
Best Regards
Robert

Hello Robert,
The –deletefiles flag won't be an option if you don't run regular
incremental backup which is able to mark deleted files as inactive.
The -mode=incremental flag uses incremental by date method that does not,
so TSM DB is not aware of file deletion.

Hello Erwann
I need a little bit more explanations.
if I understand correctly ,I need to do;
1. backup image E: (full backup)
2. backup image E: -mode=incremental (only new files are
backup , fast backup
I want to use (test) the restore with option imagetofile
Restore image E: F:\diskE.iso -imagetofile -incremental –deletefiles
So NO need for regular incremental backup ???
T.I.A Best Regards
Robert

Hello Robert,
Backup image is a full image done at block level. When specifiying
mode=incremental, il a file level incremental that is done : only files
having a modified date later than the previous backup image are backed up.
The -deletefiles flag when restoring an image backup is only to be used
when backup of the same volume is done twice : block level (image backup)
and file level (regular forever incremental).
See this excellent presentation (from slide 28) :
http://tsm-symposium.oucs.ox.ac.uk/2007/papers/Andy%20Raibeck%20-%20Potpourri%20du%20Backup.pdf

Objet: [ADSM-L] Backup and restore question
Hi to all
Question for people using BACKUP AND RESTORE IMAGE
I have a Windows client with millions of files and I am thinking of using
backup image on it.
Some questions , after the first backup image of disk E: (full Image) as
: backup image E:
In the documentation I can use after it and incremental backup image as:
backup image E: -mode=incremental CORRECT ?
Of course the content of disk E: will change, files will be added and
deleted.
So the correct syntax for restoring the image will be: Restore image E:
X: -incremental –deletefiles
Any advice will be appreciate
Best Regards
