I've found that if there's not an active version of a given file when the
'rebinding' backup runs, then the inactive version(s) of that file are not
rebound. To rebind those, you have to create on the client's hard drive a
tiny dummy version of the file with the same name as the inactive
version(s), run the incremental backup, then get rid of the dummy version.
The 'q b -ina' command can be useful for building a list of the files you
need to fiddle with in this manner.
Hope this helps,
Bill
