samba - Nov 2001 - DOS Archivbit ?

Hi,

is there a chance to set or to simulate the "DOS Archivbit" in Samba.

This is very interesting for us because we cannot make a backup of our Files
with the Option incremental of our Backup Software.

Thx

Alex

This is an excerpt from man smb.conf:

map archive (S)
This controls whether the DOS archive attribute should be mapped to the UNIX
owner execute bit. The DOS archive bit is set when a file has been modified
since its last backup. One motivation for this option it to keep Samba/your PC
from making any file it touches from becoming executable under UNIX. This can be
quite annoying for shared source code, documents, etc...

Note that this requires the create mask parameter to be set such that owner
execute bit is not masked out (i.e. it must include 100). See the parameter
create mask for details.

Default: map archive = yes

Hope that is what you are looking for.

Cheers
Jon Gerdes
