As to TOP's question, have you tried running a full, then a series of
incrementals, THEN a syn full or cumulative incremental? That's what
it's designed
You need to run a differential
Or a synthetic cumulative, a cumulative or any combination that makes
sense, cumulatives obviating the need for any earlier cumulatives or
differentials. It's all in the Veritas NetBackup System Administrator's
Guide | Policies | More about synthetic backups.

No, we don't disagree at all, I wasn't stating opinion, I was just saying how
Netbackup handles a synthetic.

The synthetic full keeps track of moved and deleted files that occur
between incrementals. When the incrementals are assembled, the changes
are reflected in the new synthetic full. I just tested this to see

CBergen,
You're not the only one that would like some enlightenment...I mean,
on synthetics backups. I don't understand why incrementals have to be
continuously run at all. As I understand it, that is the point of
synthetic backups as to have

Nothing
I might be able to enlighten you some. I'm not sure the differences between
synthetics in 5.1 and 6.5 as I am only using them in 6.5.
You're close but not quite on the mark about synthetics. The point of the
