RELATED IDEAS

Show which backup is full and which is incremental as listed

See this idea on ideas.ibm.com

Spectrum Protect Plus backs up as first full and then incremental forever. In some cases CBT can be erased so SPP needs to take full backup.
We can see if the backup is full or incremental on the backup job logs.
But we need to examine all the backup jobs logs to see which one is full and which one is incremental. This process takes so much time.
We should be able to see this information from SPP UI, report etc.

    This request may not be delivered within the release currently under development, but the theme is aligned with the current multi-year strategy. IBM may consider and evaluate any RFE Community feedback for this request through activities such as voting. IBM will update this request in the future.

    We are an MSP and had an issue with one of our customers.
    There wasn't enough space on vSnap and it was unusual. So I check all the backups jobs which ran on the last month.
    In some backup operations, SPP had taken as much backup as the data on the disk. It was all incremental backups.
    I had to open a case to be ensure about it.
    If there was a list which shows backup size and whether backups are incremental or full we can save time.
