No, it is the function of DP to do a Restore of the Full Backup before doing an Incremental Restore. There is an option to 'Omnit Unrequired Incrementals', but really no way of eliminating teh requirement to do a Full REstore
There is one possible work-around to this. IN the REstore window, click on Actions, and pick List from Media. This will build a list of what it finds on the selected media, and lets you restore from that, totally by-passing the IDB
However, this has some pitfalls
- If listing a large number of small files, DP may run out of shared memory
- If a file is split over 2 media, List from Media can't be used
- You cannot use List from Media to Restore an Applications backup, like Exchange or SQL
