I'm not sure what you mean by "changing end time". But, if you create a VirtualFull backup, then future incrementals and differentials should run against that VirtualFull. The "incrementals forever" model is pretty risky ... it can mean that a restore requires a HUGE number of jobs restored, and can fail if any of them is missing. -- Phil Stracchino, CDK#2 DoD#299792458 ICBM: 43.5607, -71.355 ala...@caerllewys.net ala...@metrocast.net p...@co.ordinate.org Renaissance Man, Unix ronin, Perl hacker, SQL wrangler, Free Stater It's not the years, it's the mileage. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ WhatsUp Gold - Download Free Network Management Software The most intuitive, comprehensive, and cost-effective network management toolset available today.
