Incremental backup error, but job wasn't set up that way
I have two bat files I created that automatically look for an existing .tib with a specific name (PartialBackup_[ActualDayofWeek].tib or FullBackup.tib), and if found, delete it. It then kicks off TI9 with a specific script to create either a full backup or a "files and folders" backup. Upon completion, the backup file(s) are renamed to include the day of the week (PartialBackup_[ActualDayofWeek].tib or FullBackup.tib), and the jobs terminate normally. Both bats are kicked off as scheduled jobs, and this process *usually* work uneventfully.
However, randomly, for no reason I can see, despite neither the bat files nor the actual TI script being touched in months, one of the jobs, usually the partial backup I think, will abort with an error message about "Incremental backup not allowed", and hang until I realize it didn't run, and cancel it. Since I haven't touched any part of the process, and the jobs usually run normally, I'm at a loss to understand why this is happening. Anyone have any thoughts?
TIA
