Backup Maker Archive Bit Settings

Thanks. Can you suggest any programs?

I did a temporary workaround. I ran a differential backup on this folder every 24 hours instead of by resetting the archive bits.

I think every Diff I ran started a full backup because when I ran the full backup, I hadn't checked to reset the archive bit. So the diff thought they were all to be backed up. Do I have that right?

Yes, if you want to use a Differential as the next backup, the the first Full must reset all the archive bits.

So far so good. To keep the original file dates, do you suggest I set these options?

As I said, I don't use Backup Maker. But ticking 'Store modification time' and 'Store creation time' look like they should do what you want.

I should have specified, those settings are in WinZip. I'll try it, thanks.

I prefer 7-Zip, and in that dates of files are always preserved.

Thanks again.
