Why each option
After performing a copy backup of files on a server, the archive bit on the original backed up files will remain unchanged, as this backup type does not clear it.
The archive bit is a flag that is either set or unset, not deleted.
A copy backup operation is designed to create a full backup of selected files or folders without affecting their backup status. Therefore, it does not clear (unset) the archive bit on the backed up files; the archive bit remains in its original state.
A copy backup does not set the archive bit; it merely copies the files without modifying this attribute.
The archive bit itself is not copied as a separate entity; its state (set or unset) on the original file is retained.
