I have been noticing some strange/bad behavior with our main file server
backups, a 2 node active/passive windows 2003 cluster.=20

=20

We are running weekly full backups on the weekends, and the past few
weeks full are all successful. =20

During the week we are running cumulative incrementals and I have
noticed that the incrementals are as big or nearly as big as the fulls.
We checked the archive bits and they are not set, and the timestamps of
the files are not being modified every night.

=20

Has anyone seen this type of behavior before with cumulative
incrementals? =20

=20

We are currently at 4.5 FP 8 slated to upgrade to 5.1 next month, client
on the cluster is FP6.

=20

Thanks,
Taylor
