Reset File Access Time to the Value Before Backup

The Reset File Access Time property specifies that if a file is backed up, its access time (atime) will display the time of the backup. By default, NetBackup preserves the access time by resetting it to the value it had before the backup.

This property appears for UNIX clients only.


Note   Note    This setting affects software and administration scripts that examine a file's access time. DO NOT use this option or USE_CTIME_FOR_INCREMENTALS if you are running Storage Migrator on the system. Setting these options causes the atime for files to be updated every time they are backed up. This makes it appear as if the files are frequently used and stops Storage Migrator from selecting them for migration.
