Looking at what I have installed it seems I do not have Back Again/2000
installed on this machine (I have BA/2 PRO v4.00i on this machine, I do have
BA/2000 versions 1, 3, and 4 on CD I also have the windows 98 and XP version
for my wife's machine). In any case I do not use the GUI interface I use the
command line interface. My REXX program that does the backup has a "-reset"
option when doing a FULL backup. According to the manual this is to reset the
archive bit for every file backed up. Using the GUI interface I think the
reset is implied by the type of backup FULL or INCREMENTAL so the command line
options are not needed.
