Periodic running of Full backups aren't a good choice on resource intensive application
Synthetic full backups Saves time and space by creating a new baseline full backup synthetically from deduplicated backup data already written to QoreStor
This method creates a composite set by combining all backups up to most recent Incremental Backup created using the selected Backup Selection Set. For example, if Full Backups are performed on Sundays and Incremental Backups Monday through Saturday,
You can select the applicable Backup Selection Set to consolidate all savesets up to last Incremental Backup created using that set.
The Backup Set method is recommended when you want to perform regular backup consolidation jobs. A policy to create consolidated backups can only be defined using the Backup Sets method
Note : The Plug-in for Consolidation can only be used to consolidate the Full and Incremental Backups created using the Plug-in for FileSystem.
The Plug-in for Consolidation does not support snapshot-only FileSystem backup
When backups stored on the Quest DR Series or QoreStor systems are selected for backup consolidation jobs, NetVault performs a synthetic operation to generate the consolidated full backup. This process uses only metadata to generate a consolidated full backup index, which provides an improved performance speed over the traditional method.
