Re: Restore version options

The letter "d" besides the restore point denotes it is a Daily Merged Recovery point. Similarly, the letter "W" and "M" denotes Weekly and Monthly Merged Recovery points respectively. Also, the letter "P" denotes, the particular restore point contains some persistent boot changes.

If you have configured hourly incremental backups, on the third day, after the first successful incremental backup, all the hourly incremental backups of the first day will be merged together to form a single daily merged recovery point, which is denoted by the letter "d" and it continues for the successive days.

If you configured backups using advanced retention policies(GFS retention), all the daily merged recovery points of the particular week will be merged together to form a single weekly merged recovery point, which is denoted by the letter "w"(Only if you are configured weekly merge).

Similarly, all the weekly merged recovery points of the particular month will be merged together to form a single monthly merged recovery point, which is denoted by the letter "m"(Only if you are configured monthly merge).
