Dear Team,
I need to know how different type of backups affect Restore.
For Example,
In Client A i have configured daily incremental backup, it means that only the changed files will be backed up and unchanged files will not be replaced in backed up data.
The question is when i try to restore full drive, our backup admin says go to last full backup and then try to restore the full drive. Why is that ? I dont get it ? incremental backup is only there to save space in backup storage by not backing up unchanged data but anyways all data's will be there in storage pool.
1. why cant i restore from last incremental backup since it has nothing to do with Full Restore as the full data is available in storage .
2. why should i go to last full backup to restore in case of full restore ?
