Disk-Assisted Backup Whitepaper

Figure 9. Create an interactive object consolidation after various backups of different kinds
Select the points in time of the desired objects to consolidate. You cannot select full backups, because
they as such cannot be consolidated.
Selecting a point in time selects the entire restore chain. If several restore chains for the same point in
time exist, all of them are selected, but only one will actually be used. Your selection is marked in
blue, other incrementals that comprise the restore chain are marked in black, and the corresponding
full backup in gray (shaded). The blue check mark indicates the point in time that will be
consolidated.
You can select several points in time for consolidation, and the restore chains may overlap. If you
select a point in time that already has a black check mark, the check mark will become blue.
To clear a selected restore chain, click the blue check mark. The entire restore chain is cleared, unless
some object versions are part of another restore chain, in which case they remain selected with a
black check mark.
