The real thing here is that it is always going to be a full. Because the
data your backing up is an exact copy of the data on the original disk that
has never really been backed up, so it's archive bit is never set so it's
always a full.

Subject: Re: [Veritas-bu] EMC Unit - NT Changing Time - Incrementals =
full
So the TimeFinder piece is or isn't being used in this

After the reboot, the NT machine is MOUNTING the BCV to
