For what it's worth, I have an MS-DOS batch file built that copies my laptop
files to our filesever for backup.  It's built around the xcopy command
which uses the archive bit.  I frequently see it copying whole chunks of
data that I know haven't been modified.  Frankly, I'm not too sure how much
to trust the archive bit in Microsoft OS's.  Win 2000, by the way.

Hopefully someone out there has seen this before and can help me out.

I am using Netbackup BusinesServer 3.4.1. One of the clients being backed-up
is a NT 4.0 SP5. 
The problem I am having is that daily Incrementals are always backing-up
every file in one of the
subdirectories (F:\Users). These are files that have not being modified for
a really long time, even
for a year. The archive bit is not set. I even changed the Netbackup setting
to use modification date 
rather than archive bit and same behavior.  It doesn't happen with other
directories in the same disk, 
only with this one. No problem reported in the logs. 

Regards,
Rafael.
