Subject: Re: [ADSM-L] Backup and restore question
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) :

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=incrementalCORRECT ?
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
