Why not run backup software on the server? In my experience NT Backup
tends to be a little flakey (doublely so when working with network files
or tapes).
When you say "Normal (once)" do you mean literally "once"? Just remember
that in order to restore from a differential backup, you need a reliable
copy of the original, and over time, the difference between the original
and diff. will reduce, eventually you will probably wind up copying just
as much data as if you were doing a full backup, but without the ability
to do a restore like a full backup.

Hi
I have a Linux/XFS/Samba that Windows Domain users access through client
machines either by UNC or mapped drive.
I am trying to work out a backup plan. I would like to use ntbackup to
achieve this with Normal (once) and Differential (daily) backups.
However, when I run the normal backup the archive checkbox does not get
cleared so the differential backup backs up everything again.
I have realized that "map archive" maps the archive to the owner x it in
Linux. So I have tried map archive = no. But when i run backup the archive
checkbox does not change.
Please let me know if this is a possible solution and if there are any other
directives I need to make this work.
Thanks
