Re: [Networker] How does NetWorker decide if a file has changed o r

Well, I thought of the same thing at first.  But the machine I am talking
about has
a twin.  I mean there is an other machine with the exact same settings,
hardware and
software.  But this problem does not exist on the second one.

Interesting ha?

Perhpas your virus scanning software is doing this; this has been reported
several times in this mailing list in the past.

Guys,
The reason why I am interested on the topic is that on my W2K servers,
I get an incremental backup as large as the full backups on my large
file systems.  I am trying to determine the reasons for this.

When I conduct a test on the same server with a small saveset there appears
to be nothing wrong. ?

Others here may answer your question better but I'd thought I jump in and
make you aware of the Networker and the Windows 2000 archive bit;  if the
archive bit gets set in Windows 2000 that file will get backed up forever
until a full backup is done.

We've switched to using the NTFS change journal for our larger systems where
where we don't want giant incrementals every night.
