Hello All,

I am backing up a VM daily Incremental and Weekly Shyntetic Full backup from different subclients as the following (GAR-PND-PRD_VM_Set_1,GAR-PND-PRD_VM_Set_2)

I have Full backup from both of subclient taken on Monday.  and I have Incremental backup taken on Tuesday from subclient GAR-PND-PRD_VM_Set_1 . I have another incremental backup taken on Wednesday from GAR-PND-PRD_VM_Set_2. I am using CBT backup both of subcleint.If I restore VM from the Incremental backup from the GAR-PND-PRD_VM_Set_2 subclient, Will I Cover all data from Wednesday Tuesday and Monday ? Or I will just have data from Wednesday and Monday?

Yes each subclient is going to have a unique copy and no relation to backups in other subclients.

With VMs each subclient is independent of the other. When the backup was done on each subclient, you captured the VM in its current state, as it was at the time you hit backup.

So backups in other subclients should not impact each other. CBT always captures the changes since the last backup within the current subclient - regardless of where the VM was backed up elsewhere.

Hello ​@Damian Andre 

Thanks for asnwer. So different subclients mean different backup sets ,right? so Subcleint1 (GAR-PND-PRD_VM_Set_1 ) has data  Monday and Tuesday. subcleint2 (GAR-PND-PRD_VM_Set_2) has data Mondaoy and changes from monday to wednesday.
