changing backup method from modified time to archive bit
BUE 2012
The size of my incremental backup is the same as my full. i noticed that the backup method was set to modified time. I'm hoping changing it to archive bit will fix this issue.
The Full already ran with it set to modified time. So My question is:
Will i need to re-run the full job first before seeing the change in my incremental backup?
Does BUE 2012 change the archive bit regardless of how the backup method is set?
Hello 203813,
Yes, the full needs to be re-ran if you change the job from modified time to archive bit.
also, note there was an issue in the past with running antivirus scans during the backup job that caused the incremental to be backed up as a full. see the blog written by pkh : https://www-secure.symantec.com/connect/blogs/incremental-backups-become-full-backups
hope this helps
