On the affected client, you can create a text file called "avtar.cmd" in the Avamar var directory and add the following flag, (one flag per line):

--resetarchive

This will instruct the Avamar client to remove the archive bit following a successful backup.

Not by default but there is a flag that can be set that forces this behaviour. There is rarely a good reason to do this. What is the use case?

Thanks for your replay Ian,

Once the archive bit set off, we have a script to remove the log files for SQL data base, for that purpose we want.

I should say that if it's a database for which there is an Avamar plug-in (SQL, DB2, Oracle, etc.), using the Avamar plug-in would be a better approach to log truncation.
