Well my goal is to run a differential on the active file system monday through friday.  Then on Monday morning at 12:05 am do a full on weekly.0.  Then I need to reset the archive bits on the active file system so that the differential Monday night will backup the proper data.

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]

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.
