There must be something changing the attributes on the files. Here are some
links about the file attributes and in particular the archive bit.  I had
problems when we first tried to convert our backups from Backup Exec to
NetBackup.  The archive bit was set by the backup software that ran first so
the next one wouldn't back files up.

 

ATTRIB is the command to view attributes.  I would investigate this further
and try to determine what's causing this.

 

You could try this:  In Client Properties->Windows Client->Client Settings,
the default for Incrementals is Based on archive bit.  Change it to Based on
timestamps.

 

Here are a couple of links about the file attributes and backups.

Morning

I have a really strange problem, that I cannot understand myself, but hoping
someone can help!

 

On Friday, I scheduled a FULL backup on a client computer - holds 2TB of
Data. I streamed the backups so the following drive letters were backed up
as follows:

 

L:, P:, Q:, M:, N:, O: & R:

 

Came in Monday and got error 96 - no more tapes available for 2 streams
(Drives R: & O: did not complete). The remainder drive letters were backed
up successfully. I then performed a full backup on these 2 letters again
after putting more tapes into the Robot. This now completed successfully.

 

Yesterday, I ran the normal Incremental Policy for the same drive letters. I
have come in this morning to find that drive letters N: & L: are still
running, and in fact M:, P: & Q: took OVER 20 hours to do!!

 

There has been no large amounts of Data placed on these drives, yet it seems
to be doing what looks like a full backup. The Incrmental for drive letters
R: & O: completed in under 30 mins.

 

I dont want to stop the 2 streams running in case Netbackup starts all over
again. Can anyone guide me as to where I could start looking into this
problem?

 

Yours

Simon
