Problem
Incremental or Differential backup jobs shows status as 'Rule Blocked'
Error Message
No specific error message but Incremental or Differential backup jobs shows status as 'Rule Blocked'.
Cause
If Incremental or Differential backups of a resource are performed without the latest Full backup, Those incremental or Differential backup sets will not be helpfull in a restore situation.
Backup Exec does not perform a Incremental or a Differential backup unless a Full backup of the resource is performed earlier. Hence a job status may report as 'Rule Blocked'
Solution
To resolve the issue, Perform a Full backup of the resource before the Incremental or Differential backups.
Once the First Full backup is successfully performed for the resource, the status of the Incremental or Differential backups will change to 'Scheduled'
