Hello All,
Touching up a file is supposed to switch on the Archive bit. However, I can
only get this to happen if the client doing the editing is also the owner.
This is fine for owner access in the HOME directories, but is useless when a
file is modified by any member of a group. The impact is that my incremental
backup only backs up a group rwx file when it is modified by the owner. This
is a major drawback. BTW, the archive bit does get switched on if I force
user to be root, but for security reasons I don't want to do this.
I have spent a long time trying multiple combinations of permission
settings. Am I missing something, or is this a bug?
Thanks, Andrew Butler.
