SV: [Veritas-bu] netbackup changing ctime of files

Thanks for the quick and correct answer. When having something to search for I 
found this: 
http://www.eng.auburn.edu/pub/mail-lists/veritas-users.Nov98/msg00011.html

But shouldn't it be possible for the netbackup client to first reset the atime, 
and then reset the ctime also?

When NetBackup backs up a file, that changes the atime.  The ctime is
changed when NBU resets the atime to it's original value.

See USE_CTIME_FOR_INCREMENTALS and DO_NOT_RESET_FILE_ACCESS_TIME for
info on changing the atime and not the ctime
