Expanded volume Incremental backup

Thread needs solution

Hi,

I recently expanded a volume on one server. Now it appears that the incremental backup wants to do a full backup of the volume. Anyway to prevent this?

Thanks,

Richard.

Hi Richard,

Resizing a volume is quite severe operation which makes the backup engine to consider such volume as a new one and thus make an attempt to read it entirely. Note however that if there were no significant actual data (on volume) changes then the backup size (the size of data written into existing backup) should not be the same as the original full one and should capture only the data changes, unless backup was done in "sector-by-sector" mode originally (can be checked in logs from original 1st backup).

Thank you.
