Linux Incremntal backups.

DDev

I have a linux server I am trying to backup. I want to do Full and incremental backups. I understand that the archive bit isn't understood by Linux. From what I have gathered you need to go off a modified date mode to get incrementals to function. Can anyone explain to me how to get this working. I am looking for doc and can't really find anything.

I feel stupid that I missed that, but on checking this that is the way it is set currenty. I have my Full backup and incremental set.

Have you tried running a full and then an incremental backup?

This is how it is set currently. I have attached a picture.

Yes and it seems to always run a full backup.

@ AmolB No AV on the Linux Box, but I do have it on the Backup Server.

@pkh Also we are running Ubuntu 12.04.
