[Networker] Incrementals on non-indexed pools?
2009-05-14 14:43:47
If you turn of indexing for a pool, what happens if you run an
incremental, say, after you've run a full? Will it just run the
equivalent of another level full, etc., etc.? Ditto for a numeric?
Obviously, if this option is turned off then NW isn't going to update
the online client index, just the media database, so it would seem that
an actual incremental or numeric would not be possible because how would
it know what had changed since the last backup without the index
entries, and yet you can perform save set recovers wherein you specify
an incremental or numeric instance even though you're not browsing. Of
course, in that case, NW doesn't have to decide which files to recover -
all the file level decision making was determined back when it first
backed them up - so it simply recovers that whole save set, and you get
whatever is in there even though that might include files that have
since been removed.
So, I want to say that running any backups will always result in a level
full if indexing us turned off?
