incremental backups of the same VM with different jobs

[banyoo]

Hi,

I have a (forever) incremental backup of some VMs running every night. Now I want to create a new backup job (incremental forever) for one vmdk of one of those VMs which backup this single vmdk every hour or so to a NAS. This should cover the situation "I just overwrite my .docx I created this morning, now its lost".

My question is:
Will the next incremental backup at night be based on the *last incremental backup of this standard job* or will it be the based *on the last (hourly) backup of the VMs vmdk* ?
Does someone know how it work?

Two jobs will be independent on each other, each creating its own backup chain. Thanks.

Thanks for clarify - thats what I expected.

If the need for granular file restoration for this particular VM is higher than for other VMs, it might stand to reason to exclude this VM from existing job and creating a separate job for it as a whole (not just for specific VM disks) and use more frequent schedule for it. Thanks.
