Change of Job definitions - what happens to data in repo?

[juerg.hirschi]

Dear all

following scenario:
Customer has one big catchall-job "backup whole organization", all kind of data included.
Repo with 50TB

now they change to a setup with four jobs:
name_exchange
name_onedrive
name_sharepoint
name_teams

if the jobs point to the same storage as before for the catchall-job, will the old data be recognized/found and the next job runs (x4) will be incremental as per new job definition?
or will this change of job logic produce a new full backup with all data be copied again to the repo?

thanks
Jürg

Hi Jürg,

The next job run will be an incremental backup, meaning that only changed and new items will be downloaded from the protected objects. Please note that even though the job is incremental, it will still perform a full scan to detect what is already in the backup repository and what is not. The initial run may be longer than a normal incremental backup.

Best,
Fabian
