I have a synthetic full backup that's been running over our WAN for 3 days now, I need to stop it as it's got at least another 2 days to go and it's eating the bandwidth at the site in question.
When I go to stop it I get the message "Backup's files for this job will be left in the inconsitent state. Are you sure you want to stop the job".
Am I OK to stop the job or will my entire backup set become corrupt? I'm assuming that all this will effect is the active synthetic full and the partial VBK that's been created so far.
Once I've stopped this job the intention is to move all the backup files to a Linux server and let that process the synthetic job in 5 minutes, as nature intended
Provided that you have "Transform previous full backup chains into rollbacks" disabled, then you should be able to stop the job and continue incremental backup job after switching to a Linux target.
