Question on Macrium backups
Thanks for thinking about answering my question!
I currently have the following backup plan for my laptop - full backup on Sunday, then Differential every other day of the week. So in the case of a failure, I just have to restore the Sunday Full and the latest Differential backups and I am good to go.
A little while ago, I added a second step - on Wednesday during the day, I connect another external SSD, and do a Full backup. I then disconnect it. I do this to have something completely offline in case of weird viruses, ransomware, etc.
My question is this - I assume the Wednesday Full backup clears the archive bit on every file. While I can work with that, I would prefer that it did not clear the archive bit so the Wednesday evening Differential backup backs up everything changed since Sunday. I thought it would be easy to find how to change that option on a Full backup, but I can't find it.
It's not the end of the world, if the laptop dies on Friday I just grab my Wednesday full and use my Thursday Differential. But I would prefer not to touch my Wed. full backup.
Can I tell it not to clear the archive bit on a full backup?
Thanks!
