 The Archive bit if for backups. When you do a backup, the archive bit
 is turned off, when you change or add files, you can then do an Archive
 Backup, and only get those files which have been changed or added since
 the last backup.

 I recommend that you backup your hard drive fully at least once a month
 and do changed file or archive backups once or twice a week, the archive
 bit is for this purpose.
