Description
Error Message
The backup options or selections for this job have changed since the last time it ran. You should run the full backup instance of this backup definition as soon as possible to ensure complete protection.
Cause
When the selection list has been changed for a particular job after the full runs, the next time the incremental/differential backup job runs, the incremental/differential backup will complete with the following exception.
"The backup options or selections for this job have changed since the last time it ran. You should run the full backup instance of this backup definition as soon as possible to ensure complete protection."
This is not an error or a failure. This is a warning to state that the selection list has changed since the last full backup job was run.
Resolution
Run the full backup job associated to the incremental/differential backup job that has completed with this exception.
Future incremental/differential backup jobs should not produce this warning.
