backup

        We have another issue with Win2K backup of the SYSTEM OBJECT,
        namely, that it doesn't update its backup status when an incremental
        is run on it:

                               Node Name: <nodename>
                          Filespace Name: SYSTEM OBJECT
                                Platform: WinNT
                          Filespace Type: NTFS
                           Capacity (MB): 0.0
                                Pct Util: 0.0
             Last Backup Start Date/Time:
          Days Since Last Backup Started:
        Last Backup Completion Date/Time:
        Days Since Last Backup Completed:

        And this is after an explicit incremental. Maybe herein lies the
        problem?

        We noticed this because we use the Last Backup Start and Completion
        fields in our backup reports that we sent to users. The surge in
        the number of calls and emails was my first clue!
