One thing I've noticed with some of our Win2k systems is that certain files
get backed up every night if their mtime or ctime entry (is this entry in
the "VTOC"?  not sure -- I'm not a DOS/Windows guy...) is blank/missing.
Not sure if this applies or not, but it may be worth a look ...  In any
case, I fixed my problem by 'touch'-ing the file(s).

Hi,

Anyone know of any problems backing
up Win2k systems that are using the
File Replication service?

What happens is that the incremental
backups of one of my Win2k drives
is getting 35 GB each and every night.
The NSR_AVOID_ARCHIVE bit has been set
to yes and the Networker service restarted
so the archive bit shouldn't be a problem.
The 3 folders that are using this FRS
total in size to 35 GB so I'm guessing
something it's doing is triggering
Networker to backup everything.
Anyone have any ideas on why?
I'm a unix sys admin so I'm not very
familiar with windoze.

The client is Win2k running Networker 6.1.1
and the Networker server is Solaris 8 running
6.1.1 also.

Thanks alot,
Duncan
