I'm not actually talking about modifying the image chain within the UI. I just mean, for instance, if I have the following schedule, as posted above, in place:
FIRST SUN OF MONTH @1100 HRS: FULL
EVERY SUN OF MONTH @1100 HRS: DIFF
EVERY DAY @1100 HRS: INC
But on the first Sunday of the month something happened, let's say the power was out, and no image FULL (or any) backup occurred. What would happen on the first Monday of the month?
In the first scenario, let's say I had a full chain of backups for the prior month. Would the incremental on the first Monday of the current month set by the rule EVERY DAY @1100 HRS: INC just tag on to the last FULL/DIFF/INC of the prior month and continue the prior month's chain?
In the second scenario, let's say I had no other prior backups for this schedule. It's the first Sunday of the month but the power is out so the FULL didn't run. Next day, Monday, the ruleset indicates an INC should run, but there are no image backups to chain it to. Would HBS create a FULL or error out due to no FULL to tie the INC to?
