synthetic backup

A backup solution that produces a synthetic full backup, an

 

equivalent to a conventional full backup in terms of data, without

 

putting stress on the production servers or the network. A

 

synthetic full backup is created from a previous full backup and

 

any number of incremental backups.

synthetic full

The result of an object consolidation operation, where a restore

backup

chain of a backup objects is merged into a new, synthetic full

service, the System State data also includes resource registry

 

checkpoints and the quorum resource recovery log, which

 

contains the most recent cluster database information.
