Well my goal is to run a differential on the active file system monday
through friday. Then on Monday morning at 12:05 am do a full on
weekly.0. Then I need to reset the archive bits on the active file
system so that the differential Monday night will backup the proper
data.

don't know specifically what you're trying to achieve but
perhaps you could create a script to run on the Windows machine once a
week that might do what you want. you'd need to leverage rsh and
manually create and delete the weekly snapshot.
something like:
REM delete the snapshot created the week before
rsh [filer's host name] [-l username] snap delete [snapshot
name]
REM reset the archive bits
attrib -a /s
REM create a snapshot that you want to backup from
rsh [filer's host name] [-l username] snap create [snapshot
name]
REM run the backup
ntbackup [options]

Not if I backup the snapshot though right?

by the way, a "full" backup (assuming you do
that once a week) should clear the archive bit as well.

I'm looking at running differentials
during the week and then backing up weekly.0 Monday morning at 12:05.
The problem is I need a way to reset all the archive bits right before
that. How can I do this? By the way cifs only environment.
