I believe I've done the calculations before for the VMS client - the relevant data is logged - and the date used is measured from when the last backup STARTS, not ENDS. If you think about it, it *has* to be this way or you will miss files. eg. differential starts at 12:00 and ends at 18:00. A file is created at 16:00 but the directory it is in was processed at 13:00. If you started your next differential and selected all files since 18:00, you'd skip the file and this would be bad. If you start your next backup and selected the files created since 12:00, you'd be okay. Now of course you could select the same file twice (e.g. if the file was created at 12:05 and the directory was processed at 13:00)) but that's a far better problem than not backing it up at all. -- Ed Wilts, Mounds View, MN, USA mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] _______________________________________________ Veritas-bu maillist - Veritas-bu@mailman.eng.auburn.edu http://mailman.eng.auburn.edu/mailman/listinfo/veritas-bu
