How does the Linux backup program determine which files need to be archived/saved when doing incremental backups? Linux doesn't use an archive bit in each file like Windows does to designate a file has been modified since the last backup. So, how can the backup program efficiently and accurately determine if a file needs to be archived/saved when running each incremental dump? Please do not reuse answers.
