Consider the following points to use true image restores and move detection:
NetBackup collects additional information for the incremental backups that collect true image restore information. Policies that use move detection require even more space.
Incremental backups are slower for a policy in which true image restore information is collected.
Configure the period of time that NetBackup retains the true image restore information. Set the attribute in the Clean-up properties dialog box.
To restore a file system or disk with a true image restore, back up the directories with a policy that collects true image restore information.
For true image restores, only directories can be listed and selected. In true image restore mode, the client interface does not display individual files. Refer to the online Help in the Backup, Archive, and Restore client interface for more information on true image restores.
A true image restore preserves the files that are currently in the directory but were not present when the backup was completed. In the previous example, assume that you created a file that is named file5 after the incremental backup on 12/04/2009, but before the restore. In this case, the contents of the directory after the restore is as follows:
file1 file2 file4 file5
