Hi Mark Extract from NBU Admin Guide I for Windows:
Wait time before clearing archive bit The Wait time before clearing archive bit property specifies how long the client waits before the archive bits for a differential incremental backup are cleared. The minimum allowable value is 300 (default). The client waits for acknowledgment from the server that the backup was successful. If the server does not reply within this time period, the archive bits are not cleared. This option applies only to differential-incremental backups. Cumulative-incremental backups do not clear the archive bit.

Does the NB client for windows reset all the archive bits on files after the backup's completion? That's the only thing that makes sense as I see it. If it reset the bit after each file, then a last-minute failure of the backup would not let the next incremental backup what failed the previous run. -M ============================ Mark Donaldson - Systems & Storage Administrator Staples - Broomfield, CO pager: 3034354...@cingularme.com (o) 303-664-2040 (c) 303-435-4766 _______________________________________________ Veritas-bu maillist - Veritas-bu@mailman.eng.auburn.edu http://mailman.eng.auburn.edu/mailman/listinfo/veritas-bu _______________________________________________ Veritas-bu maillist - Veritas-bu@mailman.eng.auburn.edu http://mailman.eng.auburn.edu/mailman/listinfo/veritas-bu
