Sure starting to look that way...oh well, thank-you.  I'll do some re-aligning 
and hope for the best.

[Veritas-bu] NDMP Incremental backup

2008-06-03 Thread PGerard

Hi everyone.  I am backing up an EMC Celerra using NDMP with one tape drive 
attached to each of the data moversthis is working fairly well...at least 
way better than the way it was beforebut I do have a question about 
incrementals.  One of the file systems does pretty much a ful everytime the 
incremental runs.  Could that be a CTIME/MTIME thing?  Is there a necessity to 
turn off CTIME?  Can someone please let me know?

Thanks

No...all of the other policies for the other file systems are built the exact 
same way and they are fine.  This particular one has outlook PST files in it, 
which are likely quite large, and I doubt they are ALL changing, so I suspect 
the time stamp gets modified when the users open it up with outlook...i guess 
it's possible they have some automatic archiving too and the minute even a 
single new email message makes it into the PST it is deemed as having changed 
and will get picked up by an incremental.  We are running differentials all the 
time with only Monthly backupswe have 30TB of Celerra and only 6 tape 
drives to back it all up, so doing it every week would be extremely tedious.  I 
thought maybe the ctime thing was causing this but the more I think about it, 
the more I think the files are just being modified on a daily basis.

Thanks
