Differential Backup

[Titann]

Hi There,

w2k3 Networker 7.4

i have recently noticed that my Diferential backups are actually doing full backups. I have a schedule that does a full every second day with a differential in between.

My differential did work then stopped.

Any ideas??

thanks in advance

This usually points to either a defective media index. If NW can not find a full for that save set (for whatever reason), it has to 're'start with a new full.

On the other hand, a defective media index with NW 7.4 is hard to believe. Please look at the server's daemon.raw file for details which could help in this issue.

Also, do not forget that you might have used a schedule for the group, overriding the client's schedule.

Hi 605

I have set all schedules on the group for that and has worked perfectly. What i found that at some times it will do the Differential but most times it doesnt.

So its very strange to me.

As i said, check whether the log files conatin additional info.

If the problem does not depend on your configuration and the problem is random, then i assume it is a bug.
