Restoring with incremental backup

Post by Brad403 »

When restoring volume level backup onto a new hard drive and it asks for the restore point, I can use a incremental backup, right? Or do I have to use a full backup? How does that work exactly by using a incremental backup, given that it's a lot smaller than the full backup?

Thanks,

Brad

Hello Brad,

You can use any available restore point. If you choose incremental restore point, restore process will pick all the 'missing' blocks from the previous restore points (incrementals and full). Cheers!
