Ahh, yes NT our friend.
What I would do for NT is this:
Create a new class (special) with a schedule of type
Cummulative Incremental with a retention period for
however long you would like.
Include the file list you wish and either kick off the
backup manually or scheduled.
Either way, since this is a "new" class and the first
schedule is an incremental (cummulative is key here)
the first backup will be a 'full' since there is no
previous baseline in the class. Based on how the
cummlative incrementals work, it will backup ALL of the
files since the last FULL backup (not clearing the
archive bit after the backup) which hasn't happened yet
in this class. Therefore you will get your full backup
without affecting the archive bit at all, thus allowing
your regularly scheduled class to run without incident.
Hope this helps
