Physical to Virtual

AKIRA-NX-01
Level 2

I have Backup Exec 15 and Vmware 5.5.  I understand that if a job is configured to convert physical to virtual, the incrementals will update the virtual machine.  My question:  if running full backups weekly and incremental during the week, will the 2nd full backup overwrite the virtual machine or just update the vm like the incrementals?

Will overwrite, if this option is enabled in the conversion settings - "Overwrite the virtual machine if it already exists". By default, this option is usually checked.
