Anyone can look at the stats of a Active Full backup?
Before creating a support case, I just want to validate if this is normal.
I got the latest 6.3.2.1302 version, got the semaphore error, got the can't find the file error, so I started a new active full backup, and now looking at the "Restore point size" stats of the Active Full backup , it is at n/a ?????
Should "Restore point size" have the full value of the entire current "Active Full backup"?
"Total backup size" has the correct value of the total of backups , ie: chain backup + chain backup + etc.
