[Veritas-bu] Incrimental backup

It depends on how much progress the backup has made and where the new or
modified files are. For example, if the differential backup has already
processed the C: drive and files are later added or changed on C: while the job
is still running, they won't be backed up until the next day. But if files are
changed or added to a drive or directory that the backup hasn't yet got to,
they will be backed up as part of an already-started job.
So, for your specific question, files modified at 16:00 will be backed up as
part of the 15:00 backup only if the backup job has not already processed the
directories containing the files. It will not back up and make another pass
through to see if any additional files have changed.

Hi,
If I schedule an Differential backup say at 15:00:00 hrs and there are
files modified at 16:00:00 and the backup is still running. My question
is will the modified files or any new files created after 15:00:00 hrs
be backed up ?
Thanks
Amulya
