Hello Alfred, Option (c) is the correct choice. :) > in case of (c): Would jobs be deleted immediately or only after the Virtual > Full is finished? Jobs that are consolidated into a Virtual Full are only deleted once the Virtual Full job has successfully completed with a JobStatus of "T". If the Virtual Full fails for any reason, no Incrementals will be deleted. And of course, this is only true if the "DeleteConsolidatedJobs = yes" is set. > Does anyone have experience with Progressive VFull-Backups? Yes, I do. Do you have more questions?
