Which is exactly why the Archive Bit is evil and stupid, and should not be 
used for backups.  You can run an NTBACKUP to a CD, and it will clear your 
archive bit.  Then NetBackup won't back up the file.  That's stupid.  Mtime 
should be used only.

If you agree, then you will want to change the default behavior of 
NetBackup by setting the following registry setting:

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Veritas\NetBackup\CurrentVersion\Config] 
"Use_Archive_Bit"="NO"
