First of all, thanks to both for your help. The meaning of nodump is clear now.

Considering the first lines of the section `Usage' here: <https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Archive_bit> I suggest considering to write: ``in connection with certain filesystems (e.g., MS-DOS), where it is related to the creation or modification of a file before its backup'', or something similar: there is no homogeneous use of the archive bit across these filesystems.
