Hey Chester,
Does the savegroup completion report give any reason that the backup has been
promoted from an incremental to a full
Also in your client definition, under the save command do you specify something
like "save -c <virtual cluster name>" (this is normally the same name as the
client definition name) so in the media db and file indexes it registers the
backup against the virtual node and not the physical machine that the instance
is running on
Another reason that I have seen this happen is when your DNS is not 100%
correct, we have had cases where there are multiple forward and reverse entries
for the one IP address, and its caused similar behaviour, unfortunately there
were application reasons for this DNS oddness and I think I resolved it by
placing all of the entries under the clients alias field

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?
