Veritas NetBackup™ Snapshot Client Administrator's Guide

Incremental backup options (Windows only)

NetBackup provides two incremental backup options for Windows clients:

  • Based on timestamps

  • Based on archive bit (for Windows clients only)

These options are available in the NetBackup Administration Console under Host Properties for the client. Right-click the client and select Properties. The Client Properties dialog box is displayed. Click Windows Client > Client Properties. These options are described in the NetBackup Administrator's Guide, Volume I.

If the snapshot is created on a mirror, such as a Volume Manager volume using VxVM, archive bit incremental backups cannot be used. Archive bit incremental backups are incompatible with snapshots on mirrors. For incremental backups, select Based on time-stamps.
