I've just begun backing up a number of Netware 3.1x and 4.1 servers and
noticed something odd.

I have the daily backup schedule defined as incremental but notice that full
systems are being backed up.

I know that there are files that are not being updated, but when I view them
via windows filemanager I notice that the
Archive bit is set.

Does ADSM look at the archive bit to determine if the file is to be backed
up, and if it does , why doesn't it reset it after the backup completes.
