NBU 7.6.0.3 on Windows platform
Backing up EMC Isilon NAS using NDMP protocol.
We are about to make some security changes (permissions) that will replicate through all the data structures on the NAS. While the files will not actually change (archive bit and date/time stamps remain the same), the security will change. From the testing I've done, NBU will see the security changes as a change to the files and an incremental backup would pick up ALL files as if it was a full backup. I would need to run a new full backup to reset that. Is this correct? Is security treated as a change of its own? Is there any way around that to prevent the immediate need for a full backup so that I could coordinate them manually? Any tricks to make NBU NOT see it as a change?
Thanks.
