Backup with working set backs up all Linux files
Here is what I extracted from the manual but it does not jive. I have
set the policy to 0 and 1 day but it backs up all the files.
Any ideas?

Note Backup Exec performs working set operations only on volumes that
support last accessed date for files (such as NetWare volumes, OS/2 HPFS
volumes, NTFS volumes, Mac OSX, and Unix NFS volumes).
Working set. Backs up all selected files that were modified since the
last full or incremental backup without changing the files’ archive
bits. Also backs up those files that have been accessed within a number
of days you specify in the Files accessed in [ ] days option.
◆ Access days. If working set or archive is selected as the backup
method, enter a number of days since files were last accessed to include
in this backup. For example, if you have been doing a full backup weekly
but you want to include all files that were accessed in the past two
months as part of your working set backup, you would enter 60 here.

I guess the real question is " Is it modified files or accessed files? "
Thanks

This does not seem to work based on Modified Time as I read. According
to BK Exec for NetWare this feature is not available. To this date
"Backup by modified time" is still not available in BK Exec Admin for
NetWare. I have put in about 10 enhancement request for this in the past
4 years. Why does Windows server have it and not NetWare server BK Exec?
