We recently switched backup servers which led to me restarting the incremental backups (as it was new storage). After the first backup I found the backup size was much smaller than expected, with an approximate current usage of 500gb there was a much smaller size used on the backup server.
This leads me to believe that the incremental backups must have some kind of database keeping track of files? If so, how would I "reset" the backups so that we can get a full database set again?
Further to this:
1. How does the incremental backups work? Does it automatically retain the "master" set within the dates?
2. If I need to restore an account (or server), which backup sets would be restored? How is this managed?
