Backup

[Guest]

Is there a way to have the ntbackup command set the Archive attribute to the
newly created backup. (I am running differential backups on all workstations
to a shared folder on the file server and then running a differential backup
of the file server to tape).

Thanks for your help.

I've never seen a backup program that didn't control the archive bit.
If it didn't it wouldn't know what files to write on the next
incremental backup.

The backup program correctly controls the the archive bit of the archived
files, however, when the .bkp file is created the archive bit is turned off
even though it a new file and not previously archived. The program assumes
that you would not want to archive the .bkp file.

Woops...good catch. I don't know of a backup program that does this
automatically, but it is very simple to do on your own.

Thanks for the reply. I was trying to avoid writing a batch file with a
combination of the backup and attrib commands.
