WBAdmin Logs Full Backups as Incrementals

Hi

We are backing up a 2012 R2 server using WBAdmin. The backup is written to a network share on a Linux box, where it's written to tape using a backup system on that Linux server.

I understand that WBAdmin will only perform full backups when writing to a network share, and the full backup gets overwritten each backup. Testing shows this to be the case.

However, the WBAdmin log shows an incremental being performed, and it only reports a small amount of data being backed up.

Despite this log, I've run a test restore from the linux network share, and a full backup of all volumes is being performed. Also the Linux server shows the expected number of .vhdx files of the expected size. 

Is this know behavior, something to do with the network share full-only restriction clashing with the you-can-run-any-schedule-as-long-as-it's-a-14-day-incremental non-configurable nature of WBAdmin?


Should I be concerned that the logs are incorrect despite test restores working?
