Thought I had this fixed but ran into something I wasn't expecting. Right now on one of the servers, we have two Windows backups running (since there is no Veritas Agent). The first runs hourly on a folder, and only backups files incrementally. This runs 7 days a week. The second backup runs every Friday night, which does a full backup of the folder... These are all reports that are crucial to the operation of the business.
The files are then backed up on a share where the share is backed up by Veritas. Unfortunately, the incremental backups have become entirely too large (incremental file: 300gb; full file: 1.5gb). We have to do the incrementals because if anything happens, we at least have the hourly backup and won't have to reinput so many reports.
Is there a way, perhaps script or something, that after the full backup, the incremental starts at 0kb again and works it's way up? This will definitely alleviate the size problems and will ensure successful backups all around!
