Exactly my dilemma!  It's a mix--some files regardless of when they were
modified and some files stored by modify date.  For several reasons, two
separate backups are not feasible now.  I've written a job that will run
every Sunday at 1:00 a.m. with the "Rename solution".  This way, if we need
to know if the file was truly modified or not, we can be pretty certain (not
full-proof, I admit).  If it was "modified" during the time my job ran, it
probably wasn't really changed because we don't have any other processes
running then
----------------------------------------------------
An alternative might be a different backup program.  We use BackPack
(formerly RoadRunner) from ROC software.  Here's how to do what you want.

SELECT ("FILES YOU WANT SOMETIMES" WHERE MODDATE>=somedate)
SELECT "FILES YOU ALWAYS WANT"
STORE TO *T
/GO

No plug, just a user.
