Synthetic Full backup - client job

[Raju_la]

hi,

 we are at 7.5.01 master and media. after upgrade we changed one of policy full backup to to synthetic full backup  to test. full ( synthtic full backup ) schedule is on sunday so today i check the acitivty monitor i seen the client is still job id and run the full backup just like other regular full backups.

question

 1. if synthetic full backup doing his job in background does it create job id and activity on master/media server

 2. how to confirm the full backup image created for that client is a synthetic full.

appreaciate your help

FYI

We updated to DDOS 5.2.0.6-307320 and boost 2.5.0.3-314845

Optimized Synthetics now works!

You need to

1) set the correct attributes for Optimized image on the storage server and pool

 nbdevconfig -changests -storage_server storage.server.name -stype DataDomain  -setattribute OptimizedImage

nbdevconfig -changedp -dp diskpoolname -stype DataDomain  -setattribute OptimizedImage

and

2) Run the following command the DDOS CLI
ddboost option set virtual-synthetics enabled
 

Then you need to run a full backup, an incremental backup and finally you can run an Optimized full backup!
