Backup job cancelado.

Post by fll »

Hello, if an incremental forever job backup is canceled, will the next task execution reuse the vib file or generate a new one?
If you use a new one, can you delete the incomplete vib file without breaking the chain?
In case you can not, how to recover the space occupied by the incomplete task?

Thank you.

Hey,

It depends on the way you canceled the job: Immediately or Gracefully. Thanks!

In any case, do not delete anything manually, incomplete increments will be treated automatically.

In this case the next run should clean up incomplete increment and start creating new one.
However, if it contains successfully processed VMs, the next run won't clean it up, since those RPs in the .vib can be used for restore. Thanks!
