Yes, it is based entirely on the timestamps of what it finds in the catalog (last full + last diff + all following incrs). > Or, is there somewhere recorded the > time stamp which each incremental/differential is relative to?

It will restore A, B and D. __Martin ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ AlienVault Unified Security Management (USM) platform delivers complete security visibility with the essential security capabilities.
