The archive attribute not cleared error is a problem that occurs when the backup software fails to reset the archive bit of the files after a successful backup. The archive bit is a Windows file attribute that indicates that the file has changed since the last backup operation. The backup software should clear the archive bit after a successful backup, so that the next incremental or differential backup will only include the files that have changed since then.
Some possible causes and solutions for this error are:
• The backup software does not have enough time to clear the archive bit before the server replies. You can check the host properties for the client and increase the 'Wait time before clearing archive bit' value. The default value is 300 seconds (5 minutes).
• The backup software does not support clearing the archive bit for certain types of files or folders, such as DFSR read-only folders. You can change the backup method to use timestamps instead of archive bits.
• The backup software has a bug or compatibility issue that prevents it from clearing the archive bit properly. You can check for updates or patches for the backup software and install them if available.
