Re: [Networker] Client suddenly backing up entire drive every day

Is it reporting it did a full backup (level full) or is it just backing
up 29GB for each level reported (7, 5, incr) ?


It's backing up 29gb regardless of the level.   Last night's, for
instance, was an incremental backup, and the log files say for.


If not explicitly reporting a full, there could be an archive bit issue.
Do a search on posts about the archive bit and NTFS change journal.

Thanks for the pointer.   I'll have a look.

Hi,


Our server is running Networker 7.1.1 on a Linux RH 9 system.   We
back up 58 clients -- Linux, SGI, Solaris, W2000, etc.

One of our clients, a W2000 server, had a change in its behavior
last june.   After June 26, all files on the D:\ drive started backing
up every night, regardless of whether I was runnin a level Full,
7, 5, or incremental backup.

Before that date, the backups were normal.   I haven't been able to tie
the change to any event.

Has anyone seen this happen?   If so, was there a fix?   To me, it's 29
GB of unnecessary backed up data every night.

Thanks out there.
