And not scanning for viruii will cause havoc on you business continuity! <G> We too scan w/Norton AV so I just tried a couple of tests. It appears that a change in the last accessed date/time on windows doesn't trigger a "change" from a differential backup point of view, where a change in the last access date/time on the iSeries does. I guess that's a design tradeoff, I don't consider a change in the last access date/time to be a change, but I can see the case where it is. I'm just surprised that that decision isn't consistent with the "classic" (QSYS) file system, where a last access date/time change isn't a change for the purpose of savchgobj.

If you need to do this regularly, you might consider using save-while-active on the IFS, where transaction integrity is normally not time critical.

Recently a virus was found in a NetServer V5R1 share. I scanned all of the shares on our AS400. That night when we did a change object backup on our shares, well everything was marked as changed. Is this something Norton AV did or was it Netserver that marked them all as changed due to the fact that Norton opens everything for update in case a virus is found. None were found and nothing was really updated. Sure blew our backup strategy to heck and back. ;-) When scanning my PC, the modified date is not changed so why on a Netserver share? Christopher K.
