Then I will PSS it, just in time for the new 499 price!! *From:*[email protected] [mailto:[email protected]] *On Behalf Of *Michael B.

DPM 2012 SP 1 on 2008 R2 backing up a folder on 2008 R2. Agents and servers are fully patched. This has me baffled, never seen anything like this with DPM. I can always look at a folder recovery point and see the contents in total, not just the changes since the last recovery point. I realize the backups don’t work like a full…but the recovery points do. Except this one new job I set up recently on a new server. It displays like an incremental but not really. Bear with me, this will be hard to explain. Backed up server is a Filemaker Pro server. Think SQL for cave men, or maybe Access for Romans. It backs itself up to a folder each night, I grab that with DPM. Folder structure looks like this: Inside each of the above folders, a couple of levels in, is this: Note the bottom four files have not changed since original install, one changed a month ago and the top three are changed daily. When I look at the recovery point I should see all of the files right? Especially if you consider the folder they are in is brand new…new folder each night created by the filemaker internal backup. But I find it interesting that when filemaker makes the backup the file date on the server is from October even though it is a new folder and new files. They are not shortcuts. 12/1 recovery point:
