Hi Toasters,

 

I have an R200 with SnapLock Enterprise on ONTAP 6.5R2.  A batch job runs every night to set the retention period against the data on a couple of WORM volume.  The application that manages these data does not have the ability to set retention period, yet.  Therefore, I have to run the Snaplocker.exe utility to manually set the retention period. 

 

The batch job as follow:

snaplocker.exe \\Filer\volume 1h 3m /F                << The /F switch is used because some files written/copied to the volume may already be 'read only'.

 

The problem is with Veritas Netbackup Enterprise v4.5 incremental backup.  All incremental backup is treated as a full backup since the batch job scans all files every time it runs.  This somehow causes Veritas to think a file already there is a new/modified.  And so, every backup job is a full.

 

Any suggestions?

 

Cheers,
