Copy vs Full Backup - Difference in Size
Updated: 22 May 2010 | 3 comments
This issue has been solved. See solution.
Hi All,
Does anyone know if a Full backup will result in a different byte count to a Copy backup? Obviously if the backups are run at different times you would expect a different byte count if data has changed - but assuming the data hasn't changed would there be a difference in the size of the backup?
Thanks,
Chris

FYI
Hi
Full backup and copy backup will backup the same amount of data . Only reason we use copy backup is that it does not interfer with you normal backup policies.
Thanks

RE: Copy vs Full Backup - Difference in Size
To expand on Zaki's answer a little
A Full and Copy backup should grab the same amount of data, but a COPY does not touch the Archive Bit, while a FULL resets it

That was what I was expecting to hear - guess I need to look through the logs and fined out what is changing...
