The archive bit is a flag that indicates whether a file has been modified since the last backup. Backup software can use this flag to determine which files to include in a backup. When a file is backed up, the archive bit is cleared, indicating that the file has been archived. The next time the backup software runs, it only backs up files that have the archive bit set, meaning they have been modified since the last backup.
