I copied about 35 GB of files from one server to another. They were all in one folder with many subfolders. Then the incremental backup ran on that server.

The incremental backup did not backup any of the files. It only backed up the folders and the folder within the folders. It was just a bunch of folders, but no files at all. Directory structure was in tact.

How and why did this happen?

I checked permissions. All the permissions were just fine.

I am running a full backup now, hoping that it will catch these files. I will see what happens.

This is quite troubling though. An incremental backup should back up new files, not just changed files.

The server is Windows 2008 64bit. I am using smb as my backup method.
