Files backed up in previous incremental backups continue to get backed up on subsequent incrementals.
Running HP Data Protector v9.05 on Windows 2008 R2 professional as my Cell Manager.
I'm backing up a Windows 2008 R2 client and have noticed for several months that the Incremental backups are running a very long time (over 3days). FIles that were backed up in previous INC backups and that have not changed (modified date still the same) are being backed up over and over. I made sure the backup schedule is set to INC (regular INC) not INC1 or INC2 (differential).
EXAMPLE:
10/01/2016 - FULL backup runs - All files are backed up.
10/02/2016 - INC backup runs - new and modified files are backed up.
10/03/2016 - INC backup runs - new and modified files PLUS the files from day before are backed up.
10/04/2016 - INC backup runs. files that were backed up on 10/02, 10/03 are again backed up.
Like I said....I checked the schedule to ensure they are regular INC and not INC1.
When I create a backup listing using omndb -winfs object -session -catalog I get the modify time stamp for files and I see that DP is backing up files that have not been modified.
I just opened a case with HP Support but was wondering if anyone has seen this behaviour before and can offer any tips or suggestions. Could it be a setting on Windows OS on the client.
Thanks in advance for any suggestions, tips, help.
