Not doing incremental image
Jul 17

I am using Ghost 12 on Vista.
I notice that my incremental drive backups work fine, unless I restore back to my initial recovery point. Once I do that, when I try to run an incremental backup of the drive, it does a complete backup.
To clarify, I ran a base image of my C: drive on July 1. I later restored back to July 1. Then I wanted to create an incremental image to add onto the July 1 image, but it created a new base image instead.
I am wondering if this is because the restoration deletes the data in the Ghost history folder on C:, so Ghost does not know it has already created an initial base image.
Can anyone confirm or deny this?
If it is correct, is there a way around this?
Thanks

vince,
That's how Ghost works with WinXP. I haven't tried it with Vista.
If you restore an image, the next created image will be a full baseline backup.
If you do a hard shutdown, the next created image will be a full baseline backup.
See this thread re VSNAP.IDX

OK thanks.
Do you suppose that if I copied that file before the restore and put it back in after the restore, that I would be able to do an incremental image?
Thanks

OK thanks.
If I get a chance to try it I'll report back here.
