A user reports in this thread that hobocopy is behaving incorrectly when run with the /incremental switch. He reports that only the part of the file that has changed since the last backup is getting copied to the destination directory.
Expected Behavior
An incremental copy should copy all of any files that have changed since the last copy.
Tech Notes
It looks like the issue might be that /incremental specifies that hobocopy make a snapshot specifying VSS_BT_INCREMENTAL, which I guess actually only shadows the portion of the file that has changed. We want VSS_BT_FULL, so that the whole file gets shadowed.
