Veritas NetBackup™ Administrator's Guide, Volume I

Adding clients to a policy for synthetic backups

After clients are added to a synthetic backup policy, run a traditional, full backup of the policy. A traditional backup is necessary before a synthetic backup can be created.

Since Collect True Image Restore Information With Move Detection is required for synthetic backups, all of the clients in the policy must support TIR.

More Information

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