I have an unusual problem in that the archive bit is not being reset on any 
files during full or incremental backups on my Linux Client using networker v 
7.3.2. The puzzling thing is that the incremental backups are backing up the 
correct amount of data. The total amount of data is 400gb and the nightly 
incrementals are approx 80mb.
   
  Why is the archive bit not being reset on the files?
  Why are the incremental backups backing up the correct amount of data if they 
are meant to use the archive bit to determine which files to back up?
  How does a Linux client decide which files to backup during an incremental 
backup?
   
  Thanks
