How are the backups done? Based on date/timestamp or archive bit!

Do not have novell here, but assume that you can connect to the client
properites of the novell box from your Master Server and check how the
backups are performed.

Subject: [Veritas-bu] Netware Client cumulative incremental backups


We run a Win2003 NB 6 MP3 Master.
I've found a curious issue with our Netware clients, most of which are
Netware 6.5 using NB 5.1MP2 client, but same problem found with NB 6 GA
client. We use standard policies and volume targets.

We run a full backup on the weekend and cumulative incremental backups on
weekdays. The problem is that when the cumulative incremental backups run,
they backup the entire directory structure regardless of the modified time
on the directory. No huge issue, but I think it may be increasing the length
of the daily backups somewhat.

Anyone seen this before?

Thanks,

Ian
