KembaraXtra-Computer Terms – archive bit:
An archive bit is a status indicator associated with a file that shows whether the file has been modified since it was last backed up. When a file is created or changed, the operating system sets the archive bit to indicate that the file should be included in the next backup operation. Backup software can examine this bit to determine which files require copying to backup storage, making incremental backup processes more efficient by avoiding the need to copy unchanged files.
