Hi,

did someone else note too, that _old files_,i.e. files with creation date
out of browse time, are saved indefinitly in incremental mode?

Networker Version 6.1.4; Solaris Sparc 8; NSR_AVOID_ARCHIVE=yes

Tracing very large incremental backups of Windows 2000/2003-Server I
noticed that very related constant files where incrementally backuped
depending of their age: Old files where written _every_ time an
incremental backup runs; never ones only once (as it should be, of course!)

Is this a Networker bug or should I adjust some settings?

e.g.
