Message Text

The boxes for excluding files with the Arhcive bit set

and with the Archive bit not set are both checked.

Since all files are either one or the other this will exclude everything.

    Please uncheck one or both boxes.

When the message is displayed

Action taken

Every file has an archive property that is used by many backup programs to determine if a file has been modified since it was last backed up. The operating system turns the property on whenever a file modified and backup programs turn it off at their convenience.

It is impossible for a file to have this property both turned on and turned off at the same time. So excluding files with either the Archive bit set or not set will result in no files being found.

To correct this problem either:

Uncheck one of the boxes (Archive Needed or Archive Not Needed)
Change Match All to either Match Any or All
