Hello again,
Ok, this was a slighly better answer but I still think my original question hasn't been answered.
I am still wondering what happens in terms of space consumption if my backup-to-disk folder with the first baseline backup after the synthetic full backup has been performed.
Will the synthetic full backup to disk REPLACE my original baseline?
And will the incrementals disappear and freeing up space when the syntetic full successfully has been carried out?
For your record, neither of the documents in your last reply was able to answer my question.
Regards,
Patrik
