Thinking back about this, I remember there was a change in backup a long 
time ago regarding this behavior.
Looking at the VMS FAQ and the doc it looked like I could use /NOINCREMENTAL 
for this backup.

but HELP says :

In recent versions of OpenVMS, the /SINCE=BACKUP incremental
save operation has been refined so that files that are saved are
accurate and not redundant. As a result, the /NOINCREMENTAL and
/SINCE=BACKUP qualifiers are not allowed together. This ensures
an accurate /INCREMENTAL restore.


So I guess that too was changed later on (after 7.2 and the initial change 
to BACKUP)

%BACKUP-I-INVQUAL, qualifier /NOINCREMENTAL is ignored with the 
/SINCE=BACKUP operation

Wasn't there a logical name that we could set to restore the pre-7.2 
functionality in BACKUP, or am I dreaming ?

I definitely don't need to ever do an incremental restore on these files.

Thanks
