Is the NTFS attribute "A" (Archive) written/copied when syncing directories?

I need to copy some larger folders. For a certain software it is relevant that the NTFS attribute "A" (Archive) is taken over during the sync.

From this post I understand that the archive bit is always taken over (viewtopic.php?t=7437), is that correct?

FFS does not change attributes on copied files.

So, no, the archive bit is not cleared.
