Symptoms
In Avamar UI, SQL Full Backup with force incremental is not showing as Force incremental in the label name.
In avtar logs, we can see this warning message:
2025-02-09 23:34:06 avtar Warning <7374>: Flag --label="XXXXX_SQL_FULL-1739140200004#48 Forced_incremental" (66 characters) exceeds maximum length of 48, truncated.
In comparison with on demand backup, we can see the label name with force incremental:
Cause
It is expected to have this behavior because the label name is truncated. It cannot exceed a maximum length of 48 characters.
Resolution
From the UI, adapt the Backup label name in the dataset options tab to not exceed 48 characters.
