Anyone know why files store in netware(novell 3.12) after winxp backup, the archive bit clear but when ms word(xp) modified the file, the archive did not set and winxp backup program miss it next time. The same file store in local c drive however don't have this problem.

Try using notepad to modify the file store in network volume, it will set the archive bit correctly. Is the ms word program or netware volume problem? :uhm:

Welcome to the Windows Forum.

My archive (backup) software works very differently, so I have never looked at the archive bit.

However, I have just made a little test with three Word documents that did not have the archive bit set. Updated and saved them, and all three had the archive bit set afterwards.

What version of Word are you using (I use Word 2003).

Thanks Pat,

The word version is 2002(oem office xp). It happens on files that store in my old novell 3.12 server. Those file store in local drive is ok. I did not realize this until wanted to get back one of the deleted file and found that all this time incremental backup did not backup at all because of the archive bit not set.
