Yes unix file system don't have an archive bit that is set by the backup application and unset when the file is modified !
The only way to make differential backup, is to select the files using its 'last modification time'.
A good way to do that in a script is to create a file when the backup start, and then backup only file older than this one the next time.
I' have no idea how to deal with this probleme using Arc Serve

Recently we have started using Arc serve backup. The Arc server and the tape library are connected to a Windows 2000 server machine and the data files are stored on many Samba file servers. I have Linux Client Agents installed on all Linux Machine.
Now the problem is that when Arc Serve backup the file it always backup the full files irrespective of setting for a differential backup. I think the Arc serve is not able to set Archive bit on the file system. But it does for windows. Has any one in the list experienced this type of problem?
Any advice or guidance would be really appreciated.
