    You absolutely don't have to modify archive bit as archive bit is set when file is created or modified - i would trust that - newer failed, when making incremental backups.

    There is also a flag not to reset archive bit, if you are using another backup program.


    /a
    Copies only files for which the Archive attribute is set.

    /m
    Copies only files for which the Archive attribute is set, and resets the Archive attribute
