I'm running Windows XP with Winzip 8.1 and have zipped files and directories
with and without archive flag set.
After uncompressing the archive flag was *always* set. 
So it seems that in my environment Networker would correctly backup unzipped
directories and files.

What environment (Windows NT, W2K ...) and what ZIP-program did you use when
you observed the mentioned behaviour?

Kind regards
Thomas Rupp

Unzip of a whole directory might be very easily overlooked - unzip will
restore both attributes (without "archive" bit) and file date. Thus
selection based on this criteria will fail. OTOH ADSM/TSM will see a file
without a corresponding entry in server DB. Such a file enters in the list
of files for backup.
The situation may also be triggered if you lost for some reason a tape.
"del vol <tape> disc=y" will clear entries in DB and on next backup files
will be sent to the server (if cannot be restored from copypool).
