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.
