Found something cool if your time range for backup can be an "all files
since <date>" type.

"xcopy"

xcopy has a "/d" option to "copy files on or after the specified date".
xcopy also has a "/l" ("ell" not "one") option to "list" the files that
would've been moved but won't actually move them, so, a sort-of "preview"
mode.  "/s" allows the command to recurse downward.

Between the two, you could redirect the output to a file, then feed that
file into "bpbackup" using the "-f" option.

All files on c: modified since 09/01/2005

xcopy /d:09-01-2005 /l /s c:\  d:\  >c:\backuplist.txt

then:

bpbackup -p <policy> -s <sched> -L <logfile> -f c:\backuplist.txt

The first part works on my Win2K workstation.

Can't the window "search" command be limited by a time range?

If you did your search, you could generate a list of files.  Then select all
and hit "properties -> Advanced"  Set the archive bit on all the files.

Finally, perform an incremental backup of the NT box.  If you're using the
default incremental settings, you'll get all files with the archive bit set.


You'll get some extra stuff, too, but what you want should be part of it.

Nbu 5.0 mp3 Solaris 9 
I have a windows server that we need to backup. But I only need files from a
specific date range like all files since xxxx date. Can this be done? I do
not see this as an option in the backup selections window.
Thanks
