Change a NAS filer hostname

For a Netbackup 8.1.1 environment If I change the Hostname of a NAS filer which has regular Full and incr backups ....and then trying to take a backup again would it take a Full backup or Increamental backup in the next run after the name change... the last run of backup before the name change was a Incr and on the next run scheduled is also a Increamental backup..The reason i ask is that the Full backup is 100TB and a regular inc is around 800gb..So the question is after the name change will it take a FULL backup or a Incr backup ...even though a Incr backup is scheduled next to run...?

NBU tracks backups under client host name so if it is changed, a new full backup will be triggered. If you have an incremental backup scheduled, it will be promoted to full if no existing full backup is found in the catalog under the new name
