[MS-CSRA] ICertAdminD::BackupPrepare backup type values

Question

[MS-CSRA] §3.1.4.1.18 ICertAdminD::BackupPrepare method description contains a table with backup type:

• 0x00000000 -- Full backup
• 0x00000001 -- Incremental

I want to double-check if values in this table are accurate. I'm asking this, because dwBackupFlags in underlying CertSrvBackupPrepareW Win32 function are different. That is, from CertBCli.h header file:

// CertSrvBackupPrepare flags:
#define CSBACKUP_TYPE_FULL         0x00000001
#define CSBACKUP_TYPE_LOGS_ONLY    0x00000002

As you can see, full backup is 1 and incremental (it says LOGS_ONLY, but in fact it is incremental) is 2.

Hi Vadims,

You are absolutely right about this one as well. I am working to have this changed in the doc alongside your other findings. You should expect to see the change in a future release of [MS-CSRA].

Thanks again for helping us keep the Open Spec docs accurate!
