Incremental NDMP VBB

Question

How do you do an incremental backup of a Celerra when using VBB? When we try it we get the following error in Networker:

nsrndmp_save: NDMP Service Debug: The process id for NDMP service is 0x43566e20
nsrndmp_save: Incrementals are not supported, performing full backup
nsrndmp_save: Performing backup to NDMP type of device

Thanks,
Sheppie

Yes, the backup guys tell me that they had to do a differential instead of a incremental.

The relevant part of the manual reads:

The NetWorker software does not support incremental backup settings for NDMP backups. If you select the incremental setting, the NetWorker server performs a full backup. However, you can schedule level backups to function like incremental backups. For example, a weekly backup schedule of full on day 1 and incrementals on days 2 through 7 is the same as a weekly backup schedule of full on day 1, level 1 on day 2, level 2 on day 3, level 3 on day 4, and so on.
