After looking at the last few days’ worth of backups, I’ve noticed that one of the Incrementals converted to a Full backup. What are the reasons this would have happened?

Best answer by Stogs

A non-full backup is automatically converted to a full backup in the following situations:

· First backup of the subclient.

· Promote a secondary storage policy copy that is not synchronized with a primary copy (for all the subclients of a storage policy).

· If you switch from a IntelliSnap backup to a traditional backup or vice versa.

· CommCell Migration operation.
