Ok, so the schedule says it should have run a Full -- did it?

        I recently was at a disaster recovery test and took October's
set of
        month end fulls.  When we arrived at the site and started
restoring,
        Networker was asking for tapes from the middle of the month.
The
            

files
  

        that were not on the tapes hadn't been modified for some time,
but
        should Networker still back them up?
         
          
            

 
Did those "month end fulls" run at level "Full" and did they run clean?
 
Yes, at level Full, NetWorker should back up every single file on the 
system.
