Its possible unless the full backup did not fully complete before the
differential/Incr was being done.

Subject: [Veritas-bu] Archive bit and disk defrag tools


Folks,
        Have you ever experienced a defrag utility resetting the archive
bit?  It appears that we may.  We had a server last night backup about 95%
of it's file store on it's internal disk (defragged by diskkeeper) while a
SAN drive backed up about 5% (not managed by diskkeeper).  This was all on a
Differentil-Incermental schedule.  The client is set to use the archive bit
for differentials, so we're wondering if diskkeeper may have reset the
archive bit, or actually set it on numerous files, on defrag.  Also, the
defrag would have ran in-between backups.
