Has anyone noticed that a manual backup of a class with an incremental
schedule (either differential or cumulative) always results in a full
backup?  It also seems that the first time the scheduler runs this
backup, it comes out as a full also (even if a full backup ran
previously).  After that it behaves as expected and only backs up
modified files.

This behaviour is seen regardless of if a manual full backup was run
first or not.

There appears to be no way to manually run an incremental backup.

Neither the documentation nor the Veritas support website has any
explanation of this.

I'm running NBU 3.2 on HPUX 10.20 and Solaris 2.7.
