Enhanced Protection for Moved and Renamed Files

This release of the CA ARCserve Backup Universal Agent was enhanced to set the Archive bit when you move and rename files and folders in a volume. If you move or rename a folder, the Universal Agent sets the Archive bit recursively for all objects (subfolders and files) contained in the folder. This functional enhancement helps ensure that CA ARCserve Backup performs incremental backups on files and folders after they are moved or renamed. In addition, CA ARCserve Backup behaves in this manner by default. For information about changing the default behavior, see "Troubleshooting" in the Administration Guide.

Note: You must install and license CA ARCserve Backup Agent for Open Files on all computers that contain moved and renamed files that you want to protect.
