You need administrator privilege on the PC to be able
to reset the archive bit.  (At least I think so.
Great ignorance of ms windows here too :-)

would
be analogous to "touch"ing a file on a unix system
and
making the file look like it needs backup.



Yes, amanda use the bit archive to know who data
backup. I have a problem with some shares but I can't
know the value of the archive bit of these shares. I
don't know how I can do ?



smbclient '//pc/share' -U ... -W ...
password: .....

smb: \>  dir
...

The "A" in the flags column is the archive bit.

Verify if the "archive bit" is cleared after you did a level 0 backup.
