Description Berthold Daum

On the target plat (Win2000) the archive bit of file system resources is used 
to determine if resource should be included into a backup. During the course of 
a backup this archive bit is reset. Applications that modify a resource should 
always set this archive bit indicating that the file needs to be included into 
the next backup.
My observation with resources in the Eclipse workspace is that the archive bit 
is set only when a resource is created, but not when the resource is changed 
subsequently. When running incremental backups on a periodical base, this 
causes only new workspace resource to be backed up, but not modified resources. 
In my case this left me with an inconsistent workspace after restoring the 
complete workspace after a disk failure.
