File attribute: backup disable

Hi,

On my server the oldest logs have the file attribute "backup disable". What is the purpose of this attribute?

I don't find how it is implemented?

Someone can help me?

regards

Steph

Re: File attribute: backup disable

$ help set file /backup

SET

FILE

/BACKUP

/BACKUP
/NOBACKUP

Specifies that the Backup utility (BACKUP) records the contents of the file. The /NOBACKUP qualifier causes BACKUP to record the attributes of the file but not its contents. This qualifier is valid only for Files-11 Structure On-Disk Level 2 and 5 files.

The /NOBACKUP qualifier is useful for saving files that contain unimportant data, such as SWAPFILES.
