I know that the doc says that the FREQUENCY copygroup setting is ignored.
This would have to be the case since FREQUENCY requires knowing when the
file was last backed up. Since partial incremental doesn't query the
server for information on existing backups, it can't know when the file
was last backed up; thus FREQUENCY is ignored.

If you can let me know which manual you are looking at, and where exactly
in the manual you are looking, we can pursue further.

OK, I buy what you are saying.  However, the documentation says this is
ignored if it is a partial backup.  What does "ignored" mean.  My question
was why when I do -incrbydate it also backs up everything.  The
documentation seems to indicate that absolute would be ignored.
