Re: [Networker] Full Backups Each Run

I tried to keep it simple, when it ran fulls everyday I put in the overrides.
Whenever I look at it while it's backing up it shows "full" instead of "incr".
This is a backup of a clustered server, backing up the drives through the
virtual name and using "curphyhost" in the storage node field.

I would try to keep the setup as simple as possible and not use overrides for
this one. I see no reason for it, you've got a weekly cycle, which can be set
by a vanilla schedule "i f i i i i s" or "1 f 1 1 1 1 s".
2. Why do you think it's a full backup everyday, by looking at client index
which says "full" everyday, or judging by a savesets' size? If index says
"full" everyday - go through all your settings, sometimes needlessly complex
settings masquerade the error. Maybe try to blow all yoursettings and create
fresh. If index says "incremental", but size is same as full - look at your
client. Are you by any chance backing up a readonly FS? What kind of client
is it?
