We're having trouble determining what the exact function of the APPEND
option is vs. the REPLACE function in Windows NT Backup.  Does append
backup any new or _changed_ files, or does it just backup new files?

We've noticed that our tape backup seems to be working properly on our
first drive partition (C) which is set to replace mode.  The backup is
set to append mode for our second drive partition (E) and all the files
seem to be from a month ago (when we first setup the backup).  When I
say "seem to be from a month ago", I mean they are dated as such and
their file sizes are significantly smaller (while files that haven't had
any changes are the same size, but still dated a month ago).  Does that
make any sense?

Let me know if you can help!

Gregg
