Not an expert so I may get some of the finer details off.

The SMB incremental backup uses the file modification date-time as the key to determine what should be backed up. Taking the date-time of the previous backup this incremental is to be based off of, minus a little slop, the volume is walked looking for any file that has a modification after this. The problem files that were copied to this server would have their original modification date-time and thus were not considered to need backup.

I copied about 35 GB of files from one

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.
