The following items are guidelines to consider for enabling NetBackup change journal support:

• Change journal support is not offered for user-directed backups. The USN stamps for full and incremental backups in the permanent record do not change.

• NetBackup support for change journal works with checkpoint restart for restores.

  See Checkpoint restart for restore jobs.

• Support for change journal is not offered with several NetBackup options.

  If Use Windows change journal is enabled, it has no effect while you use the following options or products:

  • True image restore (TIR) or True image restore with Move Detection

    See Collect true image restore information (policy attribute) with and without move detection.

  • Synthetic backups

    See About synthetic backups.

  • Bare Metal Restore (BMR)

    For more information, see the NetBackup Bare Metal Restore Administrator's Guide.
