It is not a question of creating a new class for that full backup but to do a 
full backup and not touch the achive bit, becose the next day the régular 
scedule gone a run a incremental differentiel.

I want the  incremental differentiel to be from the last regular scedule full 
backup and not from my special end of year backup.

...and that is exactly what happens if your special end of year backup occurred 
as part of a separate class than the class that runs the regular scheduled 
backups.

I think a more detailed example scenario might help:

=======
Consider a machine named "BoxA", which is defined as a client in both "Class1" 
and "Class2" NetBackup class configurations.  Both Class1 and Class2 happen to 
have an identical file list defined.

Class1 and Class2 each run a full backup of BoxA on Monday.

Class1 and Class2 each run an incremental backup of BoxA on Tuesday.

Class2 runs a full backup of BoxA on Wednesday, Class1 doesn't run at all on 
Wednesday.

On Thursday, an Class1 runs an incremental backup of BoxA.  What set of changed 
data will it back up?

    (A) data modified since Monday's Class1 full backup
    (B) data modified since Wednesday's Class2 full backup
======

The answer is "A".  The decision of "does this file need to be backed up by an 
incremental backup" includes a reliance on class name.

So the use of a separate class to do your yearly full would have no effect on 
the differential incrementals run by the normal class.

It's incorrect to think of NetBackup file selection as a matter of the files' 
"archive bit".  Since NetBackup's roots are Unix-y, where there is no such 
thing as an archive bit, file selection is maintained based on examiniation of 
file modification times.

So your boxes might all be scheduled for their normal full backups on January 
2nd, and you want to run a full backup on December 31st that will not change 
the scheduling of that January 2nd backup?

I'd suggest you create a new class for this purpose.  (Netbackup full and 
incremental comparisons for a particular client are tied to the classname)

I everyone,

I have to do a full backup at the end of the year. But i don't want to affect 
the regular backup. Is this a command or a command line in netbackup 3.4 to do 
a full backup of all my server and didn't change the achive bit?

Someome have an idee, (duplicate is not an option).
