Probably something about the files changed...
     Under novell can't you have the actual data on the local disk stored
     in a compressed fashion?   Yes, if I'm remembering correctly and if
     that option changed, then so would the size of the file on the disk,
     which would constitute a change to adsm, thus another backup.

     Also if I remember correctly with Novell if you specify a name in
     lower case and it doesn't exist but does exist as upper case it will
     go ahead and use the upper case file (name)... something like that
     might have happened...

Subject: ADSM Novell full backup on client upgrade

We just installed ADSM 3.1.0.6 on a new Novell client    and copied an
older machine's data to the new box.  The new box has the same directory
structure and the same name as the old box.
The first backup of the new box appears to be full.  It's backing up every
file.
Anyone seen this before with ADSM V3 and Novell?
We haven't,   though I remember  win32 clients having this problem with an
ADSM upgrade ages ago.
I can't figure out what ADSM thinks has changed.   I've been told
permissions/file rights haven't changed, but (for you netware gurus)  if
they had does ADSM re-backup the file?
Thanks,
Julie
