Everyone,

I'm trying to understand exactly what happens in a Full backup.  Given the 
following:

1. I have enabled checksum caching.

2. A client PC has previous Full backups.

3. A Full backup for this client runs.

In this situation, are files that already exist in the pool copied over the 
network to the BackupPC server?  For these files, does the client only 
calculate checksums and then stop, or does it copy them back to the server and 
the server throws them away?

I'm pretty sure it is the former, but I'd appreciate confirmation.

Regards,
Tyler
