It depends on the backup software. If the software uses "backup semantics" (some kind of special API option), then last file access date is not modified. If the backup software is just doing a simple file copy without "backup semantics", the last access date will be touched. -- Ben ~ Finally, powerful endpoint security that ISN'T a resource hog! ~ ~ <http://www.sunbeltsoftware.com/Business/VIPRE-Enterprise/> ~
