Hi
I found the below article which explains that a VMware incemental backup with accelerator enabled will show itself with the full backup size even though this isn't representative of the disk space used.
https://support.symantec.com/en_US/article.HOWTO95...
All well and good.
My question is that I then want to duplicate these incrementals to tape as part of the SLP the policy it is using. I'm finding that my duplicates of these incrementals are full backup size and so taking ages to complete and also using a lot of tape space. Is the reason why I'm seeing this behaviour? or should NetBackup only be duplicating the Incremental size?
The full backups are running fine and so the Cumulative Incremental backup does have a full backup from which to reference.
I still want to use accelerator for my full backups so daon't want to turn this feature off but need to ensure that my daily incrementals that are duplicated to tape are not duplicated as full backups.
I'm using NBU 7.6.1.2 and VMware 5.5
many thanks
