Oh,  I didn't understand the implications of an NDMP backup.

If they were W2K clients and regular backups I would reccommend the NTFS
change journal which we used to get around the archive bit behavior.

Since this is a NDMP client, I have no knowledge how Networker handles the
backup levels and how files are flagged for backup.   A call to Legato
to explain it would probably in order.  I suppose it would be based somehow
on whatever filesystem is in the NetApp Filer??
