The result consists of a few files and directories. The actual backup is done into a .VHD file (i.e., the same file Microsoft uses for virtual machines). It is indeed a monolithic blob. Based on that, I'm assuming that the various backups are simply snapshots of this virtual hard disk. You are right about the "no incrementals". ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ _______________________________________________ Bacula-users mailing list Bacula-users@lists.sourceforge.net https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/bacula-users
