Dear all,

we have several VMs included in the same Appaware subclient. I created a new Appaware subclient, assigned a new schedule policy and moved one the above VMs to it. The storage policy remains the same for both the subclients and all the VMs have a recent Full available.

The first backup job for the new subclient was set of type Incremental, may anybody help me understanding why it was converted to full?

 

Thank you

Gaetano

If you check the virtual machine status of the job that ran, were all of them running as full?

There is only one VM in the new subclient and, yes its job type is Full.

I misread the question. The first backup of a new sub client is always a full as it has no history to compare incremental changes against.

I understand, thank you!

This means that the history is not VM based but subclient based, correct?
