Wolfgang, how are your copygroups configured? By using the include statement you selected the copygroup to use. There's a parameter that can get you to backing up files every time: ######### MODE Specifies whether the server backs up a file only if the file has changed since the last backup, or whenever a client requests a backup. This parameter is optional. Possible values are:
MODified Specifies that the file is backed up only if it has changed since the last backup. A file is considered changed if any of the following is true: + The date last modified is different + The file size is different + The file owner is different + The file permissions are different ABSolute Specifies that the file is backed up regardless of whether it has been changed. The MODE value is used only for full incremental backup. This value is ignored during partial incremental backup or selective backup. ########## Be sure to set the copygroup mode to modified (don't forget to validate/activate the policy set you changed) Also be sure to stop/restart the dsmc scheduler to get the changed dsm.sys file recognised by dsmc.
