"Full" Restore from an incremental backup in one step

[SeanLeyne]

Todd,

Are you sure about that? (This is not the usual way that incremental backups are handled)

I would have expected that restores of from all 4 backups would be required, in order to get a full restore.

Hi Todd!

If I start a restore task I get sparately files for each day in the destination share.

To complete the restore finally, I have to copy manual step by step one day after the other to the final restore folder, right?

1. Restored Monday file -> Final folder.
2. Restored Tuesday file -> Final folder.

After taking a look at your issue and replicating this on my own server here is what I have found. That restoring from your latest full backup then restoring your most recent incremental. From what I can see you should not need to restore all the incremental since your latest full backup, but rather only the latest incremental and latest full backups.
