Failed backups basic question
Please can someone help clear this up for me.
If a differential incremental backup fails half way through the job, do all the archive bits that are unchecked during the backup get put back to the way they were before the backup started?
My understanding is that no restore is available in the catalog when a backup fails (even if it fails just before the end). In which case, if the backup is run again after the failed job (and if the archive bit was left reset) the backup would only backup the files with the archive bit checked. Would I have the complete differential incremental available for restore?
I hope my question makes some kind of sense.
Cheers

Policy-Weekly Backup -- The job failed with the following error: Physical Volume Library Drive or Robot paused, offline, or disabled.
