Hi Simon,

Archive bit is default for Netware.
Just tried changing this in bp.ini (Use_Archive_Bit = no) to use
timestamp instead.
Ran another cumulative a still have a heap of empty directories backed
up. Modification times on dirs are before last full backup. So no
change using archive or timestamp.

Thanks,

Ian
