Feature Request: Build in check to Rapid Recovery to avoid a new base image on every dirty reboot

All, I would like there to be some checks in place to confirm the integrity of a back up after an OS is not cleanly shutdown to avoid new base images all the time.

    In my opinion, the ideal for getting read of unwanted base images would be a new operation -- let's call it rolldown that would compare the base image with the data already present in the repository and transform it into an incremental.

    You mean like how They used to do it in Replay4 and that we've been asking for since they stopped doing it in version 5 (and didn't use in version 6). Yes, that'd be awesome.

    This would solve so many issues, like not requiring large dedupe cache to help when new base images are taken, wow, what a concept.

    Can't see this request making it though, since Dell are concentrating on agent side dedupe.  Not sure how that will help replication though so not really a solution to the problem unless i'm mistaken.  maybe the new repository will fix that but lots of things to fix something that used to work and does for multiple competing products
