It's actually client OS dependent.
On Unix NetBackup by default uses ctime compared to the last (relevant)
backup of a class. This makes incrementals class dependent. (i.e.: two
classes doing full backups of the same system, then incrementals, will give
you a predictable results on both classes)
In NT, NetBackup by default uses the archive bit. This renders it
class/schedule independent (i.e.: two classes doing a full backup of the
same system, then incrementals, will give you "unpredictable" backup
contents on the incrementals)
