There is no syntax for it in the Schedule, that is for sure. However, I think the accurate fileset option is only used for diff/incr backups. The full backups use the basejob fileset option instead. The defaults are accurate=mcs basejob=mspug5 so you might not need to set them at all if you only want md5 checks on the full backups. __Martin > > steve > > On 7/21/2010 2:06 PM, Martin Simmons wrote: > >>>>>> On Wed, 21 Jul 2010 05:51:37 -0500, Steve Costaras said: > >> I am running v5.0.2 against some clients with many files (5-10 > >> million).
