Hello again all;
Just an update to this issue, that I've recently discovered. I've found that the archive bit does not get cleared if the account used for backup does not have access (NTFS permissions) to the file. It will back it up, but not clear the archive bit. Our user's home folders are all on C:, so that is why I thought it was drive specific. The backup account is in the local Backup Operators group, and is also a member of the Domain Admins group. If anyone has seen this behavior before and has any thoughts, please let me know. Thanks again for your time and help.
Regards, -Adrian

Hello List;
We have an F760 running CIFS, with ONTAP 6.0.1R3. "C:" is mapped to vol0, and "D:" to vol1. We use Veritas BackupExec 8.5 over the network to connect to and back up the data/shares on these NTFS volumes. What is very odd (and I nor Netapp can seem to figure out thus far) is that the archive bit for files on C: do not get reset after full or incremental backups. Meanwhile, through the same backup jobs, the archive bit on files on drive D: DOES get properly cleared after being backed up. Because the archive bit is not being cleared on C:, our incremental backups are very large, and running well into the work day.
I can't seem to find any differences in the volumes, other than vol0/C: is the root volume and uses 9GB drives, compared to vol1/D:'s 36GB drives.
