Integrate incrementals into main full backup
Is it possible to integrate a few incremental backups into the initial full backup ?
Let's say there is an initial backup of day 1 (full). Then, the next 15 days, incremental backups are made.
Can those be added to the main initial backup (so we get only up-to-date restore point) ?

Hi Borg, do you mean you want to do this manually as a one-time operation, just to get a specific restore point stored as a separate full backup file? Basically, this is what synthetic full does, so if your goal is to have periodic fulls in your backup chain, then just schedule synthetic fulls at the appropriate days of the week and this will be done automatically. Thanks!

Hi Borg and welcome to the community!
Can you provide a bit more details on the job settings.
Which backup method is selected?

Re: Integrate incrementals into main full backup
Hello.
We have an initial full backup and then 30 daily incrementals.
We would like to keep only the last restore point from the last day and if possible add all 30 incrementals to the main full backup (the rest of the 30 restore points are no longer needed).

You can create a backup copy job that will produce a single full backup from the entire chain.
