Since the disk space is not pre-allocated, the physical disk on which the virtual disk will

run is expected to have sufficient space for the virtual disk to grow.

9.4 Consolidating backups

The file name-based consolidation allows deleting the backups that you do not need any

more from any archive while keeping the archive consistency. In either case, you can

delete from an archive, if need be, the base full backup. The program will create another

full backup in place of the oldest remaining backup. The difference is as follows:

To consolidate backups in the archive:

1. Start the Backup Consolidation Wizard by selecting Tools -> Consolidate

archive in the main program menu.

2. Select the archive from the drives tree.

An archive MyBackup consisting of one full (MyBackup) and four incremental backups

(MyBackup2-5) is selected

3. The program displays a list of backups belonging to the selected archive with the

backup creation date and time. The list is similar to that in the restore wizard. The upper

backup is the full backup; the rest are incremental backups. Select the backups you want

keep

Editing images, mounted in R/W mode, results in creating incremental backups that are a

kind of offshoots of the incremental chain. Therefore, they cannot be consolidated and

always will be excluded from the archive copy.
