Amit,
Netbackup Differential Incremental backup is done by the following methods
1.Archive-bit Based backup ( Default )
2.Date based Backup
Netbackup default uses Archiv-Bit Based backup, After completion of Full Backup Veritas Clear the Archive-bit and whenever the file got changed then the archive bit set to active,incremental backup checks for the archive bit in the file if archive is active then Netbackup Backups that particular file
In your sitution the file modified after full backup may be in size that is equal to Full Backup.
Kindly ping me If u have any more clarifications.
