eu.storware.vprotect.engine.backupprovider.synthetic.SyntheticBackupException: This export strategy doesn't support Synthetic backups.

Incremental backup for Proxmox is limited to not-synthetic backup destinations. When Storware Backup & Recovery is take an incremental it need to merge difference between old and new backup. Synthetic filesystem’s method to calculate that difference is unsupported in Proxmox VE scenario.
