Exactly why NT is an evil operating system. ;)

This is why I think this feature should be disabled.  To do so, just set 
the following attribute in the registry (The default is "YES"):

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

Using the Archive Bit is just asking for trouble.  Someone can run NTBackup 
to some tape drive or network mounted disk, and that will reset the archive 
bit.  Then NBU comes along and thinks its been backed up.

DON'T USE THE ARCHIVE BIT.
