Backup Exec 2014 - Multi Server Backups

[SSR_7767]

I have a multi server backup job that backs up 5 different servers. Friday full and incrementals on Mon to Thursday.

The incremental backup job failed on one of the 5 servers, but the other 4 has been successful.

How can I rerun the incremental for the failed server without having to run the entire incremental (for the 5 servers) again or without having to run a full backup job for the failed server?

...unless these are individual jobs, then you have 1 of 2 scenarios:

1. You can't run the server independently using the same job as all servers' backups will then run;

2. See if creating a stand-alone job won't solve this issue. I don't think this will be possible though, but it is worth a try.

Thanks!

With Backup Exec 2010 and earlier versions, we had the option to run a incremental/differential backup without having a Full backup.

Is there any workaround in 2012 nd 2014 versions for this scenario?

No.
