Wait Time Before Clearing Archive Bit

The Wait Time Before Clearing Archive Bit property specifies the number of seconds the client will wait before clearing the archive bits for a differential incremental backup. The minimum allowable value is 300 (default). The client waits this long for acknowledgment from the server that the backup was successful. If the server does not reply within this time period, the archive bits are not cleared.

This option applies only to differential-incremental backups. Cumulative-incremental backups do not clear the archive bit.

This property appears for Windows clients only.
