Consolidation

Thread needs solution

Hello

I created an incremental backup file backup consisting of a single chain of 1 full backup and 5 incremental versions.

If in my consolidation, I choose to keep the first full backup & first 4 incremental versions (i.e. delete the fifth version), will the resulting consolidated backup consists of one full backup that incorporates the first 4 versions i.e. shall I see only a single file (the new full consolidated backup referred to above) in Windows or Acronis Explorer.

Thanks

You will see a new full backup that comprises the original and the incrementals. I don't use incs so I dont recall if ati now deletes the other files once consolidated or jsut leaves them behind and overwrites them as more incs are made. The consolidation funciton is essentaily creating a new full image from what's in the origianl full and the incs,so it can take as long as making a full backup. IF consolidation occurs as part of a backup task, that particular run can therefore take twice as long. So it goes.
