If you mean that you have MODE=ABSOLUTE in the copy group, then you just
answered your own question answer!   :-)       That's exactly what
ABSOLUTE says: back up the file even if it hasn't changed.

The only dumb question is the one that goes unasked.

are unmodifi     ed



I cannot seem to figure this out.  I am doing a simple dsmc incr.
I run the backup and every time it backs up all files that are in my
dsm.opt
includes as if it is a selective backup.
If I use -incrbydate, same thing.
I have absolute turned on.

Any ideas?
