Maser Posted March 28, 2006 Report Share Posted March 28, 2006 Is there any known "workaround" that would keep NTFS-formatted drives from having Retrospect back up all the files all over again due to the change in the "time stamp" of the files? - Steve Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
twickland Posted March 29, 2006 Report Share Posted March 29, 2006 This too is a pet peeve of mine. For years I have suggested having the ability to create a selector that can compare modification dates/times. That way, we could choose not to back up files that differ only in having a modification time offset of exactly one hour. Until that happens, the only workarounds I know are to shift the time zones of your NT machines (users would likely not appreciate that) or to use the time change as the point to initiate a New Media (or Recycle) backup. We do the latter. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bobjohnston Posted February 19, 2007 Report Share Posted February 19, 2007 I've also noticed this over the years with our PowerMac G4 backing up a few Mac servers using the Retrospect Client. Friday night a full backup is performed. Monday night an incremental is performed, but ALL the data is backed up again. Is there a way around this? Restarting the computer Retrospect runs on or restarting the client computers before Monday night? Thanks... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
