Recovery Point Set only creates a base
I am running Symantec Platform and Solutions version 7 SP5 (management server) and BESR 2010 SP2 on all the clients. I am running Symantec Management Agent SP5.
Normal backup job is a recovery point set. Base is created on Sat and incrementals are run M-F.
I have several Win2K3 servers that only create a base backup. I have opened a case with Symantec. They gave me an "orphan" patch. This has not solved the problem.
I noticed the following in the .pqj scheduler file on the client:
<LastBackup vt="7"> 1/11/2011 23: 0:21</LastBackup><LastExpected vt="7"> 1/12/2011 23: 0:10</LastExpected>
If I change the LastExpected date to 1/14/2011 (or just advance it one day) for example, it will make an incremental when the job runs on the 13th. However, the LastExpected date will be changed to 1/13/2011 when the job completes. If left unchanged, a base will be created when the job runs again on the 13th.
