New database in the middle of incremental backups

Olli_H

Hello

I have Backup Exec 12 backing up our server. We full backups between Saturday and Sunday nights and do incremental backups on all weekday nights. Now my problem is that if I add a new database to MS SQL on weekday all the incremental backups fail until the next full backup and the new database is not back upped at all before that.

Is there a way to automatically full backup new databases? Or should I do an extra full backup manually when a new database is added?

You need to do an extra full backup manually.

As incremental will not have any reference of the full backup hence it will fail.
