don't know specifically what you're trying to achieve but perhaps you could create a script to run on the Windows machine once a week that might do what you want. you'd need to leverage rsh and manually create and delete the weekly snapshot.

 

something like:

 

REM delete the snapshot created the week before

rsh [filer's host name] [-l username] snap delete [snapshot name]

REM reset the archive bits

attrib -a /s

REM create a snapshot that you want to backup from

rsh [filer's host name] [-l username] snap create [snapshot name]

REM run the backup

ntbackup [options]

Not if I backup the snapshot though right?

by the way, a "full" backup (assuming you do that once a week) should clear the archive bit as well.

I'm looking at running differentials during the week and then backing up weekly.0 Monday morning at 12:05.  The problem is I need a way to reset all the archive bits right before that.  How can I do this?  By the way cifs only environment.
