Incremental Backup Does Everything

[Diagoras]

I recently changed all my backups to use modified time (and the NTFS change journal for incrementals). However, my incremental backups now backup everything on the server. I have run through a full backup again, and the incremental still tries to back up all files. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

You have to use same selection list for your full and incremental jobs as you are using modified time.

Do you have an anti-virus software doing a system scan on your machines?  If so, see my blog on this subject

It also have a solution if you are using SEP.  If you are using other anti-virus software, check with the vendor to see whether they have a similiar solution.
