"Depends on how accurate you want to get here. The archive bit isn't really
reliable. I suggest one of these methods:"

Bryan, how about backup softwares that uses differential and incremental
methods?
I think they use archive bits.

"Semi : Check size + date/time stamp changes
Very: Check against MD5 or similar hash"

I did something with MD5 hashs already, works without problems, but i need
to keep a database for this.
If the archive bit works, i will not need a database.

Thanks!

Bruno
