So it writes the archive bits on the fly, but if it fails, the client
goes back and "undoes" the archive bits?

If a full backup fails it undoes the archive bit thingy.

The thought just occurred to me this morning, as I was walking
into the office.....
=20
when you do an incremental backup, the client determines which
files to back up, based on archive bits, and various other things (on
windows, particularly.)
=20
So if you run a FULL backup on a machine and the backup gets
half way through, and then fails.....it has "touched" half the files on
the machine.
=20
if you do an incremental shortly after, the incremental "should"
be based on the previous successfull FULL, but if you had a failed FULL
touch a file, and it had changed since the previous successfull full,
but not since the previous failed full, if the incremental is only
looking at when the file was touched by a full, how would it know that
the previous full, which had touched the file, actually failed, and that
it SHOULD back that file up again.
=20
I think I've rambled a bit, and that may not be very
clear......if so, feel free to disregard as the ramblings of a lunatic.
