Converting from Full to Incremental backup
My preference has been to use a Custom backup scheme with a Full backup method, but after my first go which took nearly 6 hours including validation, I have decided to do an Incremental scheme and method for future backups.
Q. If I now change the options to Incremental backup scheme and Incremental method for my next backup, will it just register the changes to the original Full tibx above, or do I have to start again, with the Incremental scheme doing a full backup first?

thanks Steve, I will remove the validation as part of the backup process. Should make life a bit easier
Will give the Incremental backup a go and let you know . But how will I know that the incremental backup has been done, as I believe it is absorbed into the Full backup, and there is only the one .tibx file. Not like the earlier version I used which had several files, one for each incremental backup

Jill, open the Activity panel for your backup task and it will tell you what type of backup was created. The Clean up versions tool will also show you the backup types created.
