Listing last atime ( ignoring backups )

Has anyone overcome the problem of listing atime of files that havn't
been accessed by backup?

Here is the problem.

I know I have loads of files on my filesystems that have not been
accessed in years.
Now I know you can identify these with 'find -atime' and 'ls -lu'
normally.
The problem I have is that when I backup all the files ( I use NSR ) it
touches the atime bit.
Thus even though the files havn't been accessed in normal use , they
have been accessed
by NSR. Therefore I can't identify any old files.

Any takers ?
