reverse incremental

[karsten123]

hi hi,

i am about to upgrade a customer from 12 to 13 and reverse incremental was mentioned.
is it correct, that reverse incremental is no upgrade blocker but is no longer available for new v13 backup jobs?
so i can change the backup mode to forward incremental whenever it is possible, right?
no recreation of all jobs needed, right?

Hello Karsten! Reverse Incremental backups are deprecated in v13 meaning that you can not create new jobs with reverse incremental but jobs already created with reverse incremental will still function. You would then be able to change those reverse incremental backups to forward incremental. Once v14 is eventually released, they are expected to be discontinued and an upgrade blocker at that point.
