Differential backup schedule
Hi All,
I want to change the backup schedule for windows failover cluster hyper V virtual machines from daily full backup to (Friday full and rest of the days in the week as differential).
i have created a schedule which is as follows:
Friday-full
Saturday-1
Sunday-1
Monday-1
Tuesday-1
Wednesday-1
Thursday-1
Friday-full
Saturday-1
Sunday-1
Monday-1
Tuesday-1
Wednesday-1
Thursday-1
I configure the client in the networker and apply the above schedule but i have observed that the backup time and size for differential backup is same. Is there any further configuration required or am i missing something ?
Hyper-V incremental backups are only supported starting in NMM 9.x. Please refer to:
NetWorker Module for Microsoft for Hyper-V VSS Release 9.1 User Guide
Note: It would be helpful to provide environmental information, such as the NMM , NetWorker, and Hyper-V versions? Also include o/s and version. As demonstrated in this question, the answer does depend on what version you are using.
Hope this helps... Cheers.

Hi Wallace,
Following is the required information:
1- Networker version: 8.2.2.2 Build 946
2- NMM: 8.2.2
3- Hyper-V: 6.3.9600.16384
4- Failover Cluster OS: Windows Server 2012 R2
Thanks for the information...
Since you are using NMM 8.2.x, then you can only perform level=full backups for hyper-v
Perform hyper-v incremental backups, you will need to upgrade your NetWorker server and client software, as well as nmm, to minimum 9.x

Does NW always convert backup onto full? As in such case, as this is cluster, I would suspect config might not have been done well and data is saved under wrong index name (which you can enforce with save -c ).
