This method is equivalent to the SELective and is off topic; he wanted to use command line. Also, Paul's point is a good one -- selective does not update the last-incremental date on the filespace... so, we're back to ABSOLUTE in the management class.

We use a fourth, the manual way with the GUI and using the "Always Backup" button. Our 3rd shift operators key it off usually after a automatic incremental and before some special project on that particular client. The client requests a "full" and we will do a manual "Always Backup."

That should do it.

Hello, Is there an easy way to do a full command line backup. I have an NT client version 4.2.15 and I would like to do full backups instead of incremental.
