Doubt about likely orphaned backup copy fies

[danaugal]

There is a full repository in my backup infrastructure.

Then, I need to delete some files that was generated by a backup copy job.

I found these four incremental backup files that apparently had not been attached to any full backup, but I am not sure.
I would like to know if someone can say me if I can delete this four incremental backup files.

Thanks

Hi Danilo, how do you tell those increments are not part of any existing backup chain? Don't judge by the date as the full backup in a regular chain is modified during each job run while the oldest increment is being merged into it.

Hello,

You may also check that these 4 incremental files are listed in the properties of backup.

Thanks!

Hi,

Actually, I don't know if this files are orphaned hehehehe. This is justly my doubt.

How I know if incremental files are orphaned?

How I know which incremental backup files are linked to a specific full backup file?

If these files are not listed in backup properties (Backups - Disk (Copy) - right click on backup), most likely they are orphaned.

Thanks!
