blashmet Posted March 20, 2013 Report Share Posted March 20, 2013 I've found conflicting information regarding the way Retrospect performs "Normal" backups. In different articles I've seen this type of backup called synthetic full, incremental, incrementalPLUS, and differential. After sorting through all the information, my best guess is that it performs a full backup at first, and from then on performs a "special" type of incremental. That is, it not only adds new files, but it also adds a new version of modified files (allowing one to restore different versions of the file if needed). Can someone please confirm if this is correct and, if not, explain the specifics of how it works? Thanks! 26 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lennart_T Posted March 20, 2013 Report Share Posted March 20, 2013 Over the year, the same thing has had many names. Now (I think) it is called "progressive" backup. speedvsaccuracy.pdf 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
