Pkh - Dont go in generic terms..for your information - I suppose you are troubleshooting/giving inputs to Netvault NDMP backup issue here
Anyways coming to question - Can you restore Level 1 with BE without restoring Level 0?
Answer is Not possible.
My Question - How Can NDMP Incr backup ( Level 1) will be successful if Full ( Level 0 ) failed ?
Any Inputs my friend...

So is the following true:
Since these are NDMP backups.
Your immediate Incremental Backup from Week2 will be equal to full backup and will contain all files since there is a failed Week2 FULL backup.
For Testing Purpose, goto reports -> run Media Required for Recovery report and select the files you want to restore. It will show which media you require.
The week 2 full has failed, which means when the Monday incremental starts, it presumably backs up all changes since the last full, which would have been week 1 full.
If I now had to restore a file from Wednesday Incremental Week 2 - what tapes would I need?
Since the level 0 backup failed, I am assuming, I would need:
Wednesday Tape (3rd incremental - level 3), Tuesday Tape (2nd incremental - level 2) and Monday Tape (1st incremental - level 1).
Or will it be more tapes?
I am just trying to wrap my head around this.

What am I suppose to input to them? That their document is correct and BE works the same way.
My Question - How Can NDMP Incr backup ( Level 1) will be successful if Full ( Level 0 ) failed ?
If this did not happen, why is there this discussion? Do examine the screenshots in the initial post CAREFULLY.

You are clutching at straws to avoid rerunning your failed full backup. Isn't it obvious that your second week backups are useless without a full backup? If you choose to mix-and-match backups from different weeks and end up in a mess, you would only have yourself to blame.

The main issue is that some of our full backups take over 24 hours to complete (due to file scanning mainly).
