The information in this article applies to:

Microsoft Windows NT Workstation version 3.5
Microsoft Windows NT Server version 3.5

SYMPTOMS

When you enable the Verify option in the Windows NT version 3.5 Backup program to backup a Windows for Workgroups version 3.11 computer over the network, the archive bits are set during the verification process. Consequently, you cannot perform an incremental backup of the Windows for Workgroups computer.

NOTE: The correct behavior is to clear the archive bits on all files, which is done when you run Backup on a Windows NT version 3.5 computer.

STATUS

Microsoft has confirmed this to be a problem in Windows NT Workstation and Windows NT Server version 3.5. This problem has been corrected in the latest U.S. Service Pack for Windows NT version 3.5.
