I found this article:
https://www-secure.symantec.com/connect/forums/wha...
but was wondering if there was anything else to it.
I notice that there is no longer a "copy" function (or i missed it). You used to be able to do a full backup "copy" mode where it ignored the archive bit - the "copy" backup backed everything up regardless of bit, it ignored it on backing up, and it didnt flip it once the file was copied. I don't see that option anymore.
Is there any difference between the two methods, other than described in that linked article?
I'm inclined to continue using the archive bit as the one sentence from the link has me a little squeamish about using "Modified Date":
"In case of files which are renamed, copied or whose attributes are changed, currently, you need to add these files manually in the backup job."
maybe the archive bit ALSO isn't flipped for these procedures, but i think i'll still just use the archive bit.
any thoughts or opinions?
