This recovery point is labeled in the Type column as “Incremental, Orphaned.”

Forcing a Snapshot
Forcing a snapshot lets you force a data transfer for the current protected machine.
When you force a snapshot, the transfer starts immediately or is added to the queue.
Only the data that has changed from a previous recovery point is transferred. If there
is no previous recovery point, all data on the protected volumes is transferred, which
is referred to as a base image.
To force a snapshot
1. In the AppAssure 5 Core Console, click the Machines tab, and then, in the list of
protected machines, select the machine or cluster with the recovery point for which
you want to force a snapshot.
The ability to delete an orphaned recovery point chain is not available for replicated recovery
points on a target core.
Deleting this recovery point deletes the entire chain of recovery points, including any incremental
recovery points that occur before or after it, until the next base image. This operation cannot be
undone.
