Command line in Windows "xcopy" does not appear to change the file name.
Though indexing service may be storing the path and the file in it's own FAT
(I suspect this is the case), if that is true then you can't keep it from
detecting new files because the path to them will be new.
Why are you concerned about indexing server indexing these? If it consumes
too much CPU or disk access just turn down indexing service settings to be
less aggressive. As a "service" you should be able to set it up and forget
about it, that's what services are for.
Or, make custom catalogs for the areas you want to index and turn the main
disk-wide service off.
Or, use an archive file like .zip, or BacupExec or some other program that
stores the files in a database (that indexing service will either index
quickly as large files or not touch).

Is there any backup software out there that does not trigger indexing
service to reindex all the files that have just been backup.
Indexing service uses the USN journal to notify it of any files it needs
to
reindex. My backup software is set to do a full copy and not reset the
archive bit. I thought that this would take care of the problem. However,
my
backup software also resets the last 'accessed date' on all the files so
that
it appears that it was not the last thing to access the files. They are
trying to cover their tracks for other 3rd party programs that look at the
last 'accessed date' to determine if they should do something to the file
or
not.
By doing this, (reseting the accessed date), they are triggering an entry
into the USN journal because they are making changes to the files
'accessed
date'.
Normally, if a program opens a file and does not make any changes, then
there is no new entry in the USN journal. But because my backup software
resets the last 'accessed date', an entry is sent to the USN Journal.
Indexing Service looks in that journal to determine if something should be
reindexed.
1) My question is, Is there any backup software out there that will backup
content that is scanned by indexing service and not change the files in
anyway. (for example, archive bit or accessed date). I hope someone can
answer this question. It really is terrible to have to watch your server
spend 5+ hours everynight, reindexing every single file every single
night.
Please help.
