Feature request: Highlight full backups
-
We're running delta backups, but sometimes a full backup is made. Would it make sense to show these in the restore backup view?
Here, the backup 12:14:59 was a full backup and not a delta, but it is still shown as delta.

I'm not sure to understand exactly what you mean. Can you develop further the use case?

It's just for clarification and information.
When we create backup schedules there is a possibility to either use the "Full backup interval"
or create additional backup schedules using full backup option instead of delta.As far as I know, the restore list is the only place to see how many backups are made, but we cannot see if we have the full backups or not.
The advantage with full backups is that they are more resillient in case there is some problem with the incremental deltas, as a problem in just one delta would fail the chain. Therefore it is a good thing to see what backups are indeed full backups.
