On Win32 [clients], you will find that the archive bit is not reset on
any file that has a "modified date" that is earlier than the "created
date". (I'll not go into how this happens.) I will occasionally run the
following script just after a backup completes to find any file that has
its archive bit set. By modifying the script's output, I will reset the
archive bit of the offending files.
ckab.cmd
========
@echo off
if (%2) == () goto SYNTAX
if not exist \\%1\%2$\* echo ERROR: \\%1\%2: does not exist.
if not exist \\%1\%2$\* goto END
echo Working...
attrib \\%1\%2$\* /s | grep ^^A > %TEMP%\attrib_%1_%2.txt
2>%TEMP%\attrib_%1_%2.error.txt
echo.
echo Done.
echo.
goto END
:SYNTAX
echo.
echo USAGE: %0 ^<machine^> ^<volume^>
echo.
echo where ^<machine^> is the name of the machine containing
echo the volume you wish to check, and
echo.
echo ^<volume^> is the volume you wish to check, without
echo the following colon (:), e.g., "C", not
echo "C:".
echo.
:END

Hi,
We've been noticing that a specific MS NT machine is backing up a large
quantity of data during incrementals -- much more than we would expect.
The other thing we've noticed is that the size of the savesets always
seems to be the same for these incrementals. However, the size of these
incrementals, while they are bigger than we would think, are still much
smaller than the fulls, so that's good.
