Continue incremental backups after restore
I have scheduled backup of my system drive every week. This does some incremental backups and then a full backup. Now I reached up to Backup ...inc_b6_s15_v1.tib when I had to use this (last) backup for a recovery.
When, after recovery, I run this Backup again, it creates an image file ...inc_b6_s16_v1.tib, and this seems to have a reasonable size, but, when it comes to validation, it complains that it can't find version 15. It offers to search for the file, but when I click the button then nothing happens (I would have expected a file dialog). The same problem happens when I try to mount this new image. All is perfect with the previous images: I can validate and mount ...inc_b6_s15_v1.tib with no problems, but the new one doesn't fit in, though it was no problem to create it in the first place.
I also tried to hide the file ...inc_b6_s15_v1.tib (by renaming the extension) because, actually, for the current state of TI this image should not exist (because it reflects a state of the system where this image did not yet exist). But the problem was the same: It creates a (new) image ...inc_b6_s15_v1.tib and, during validation, complains about a missing file ...inc_b6_s14_v1.tib.
From what I see now I only have the possibility to clone the settings and build a new backup.
Is this an error or am I doing something wrong?
I think it would be great I one could see which image files are comprised in a backup, according to TI's internal perception of the reality. And, if one is missing, then it should be easy to add this file in the backup chain. Maybe there is such a tool somewhere?
Any help is appreciated,
Thorsten
