Ronnie,

What you are seeing is probably the result of a Notes server task.
One of the daily housekeeping jobs performed by Notes is to update
the database usage statistics for all its NSF databases. This results
in the date/time stamp for all the NSF's being reset at that time
(On my server it's at 5am in the morning). It also resets the -A-
bit.

The consequence of this is that the ADSM backup/archive client will
assume (correctly) that they have changed and back them up again. The
ADSM Notes backup agent gets around this by working at the individual
document level and performing a true incremental of only those documents
that have really been modified. This Notes backup agent is currently
only available for OS/2. ADSM development are working on porting it to
other Notes platforms.
