Hi, everybody.  We're experiencing a situation where the Last Access times
on the fileserver are updated for a huge number of files, about half the
data on the server.

Server:   AIX 4.3.3 TSM 4.1.3.2

Client:   NT4 SP6 TSM 4.1.1.16
McAfee:   Server version 4.5
Filescan: Outbound files enabled  (I know, not a great idea, but there are
political considerations.)

We're preparing to implement the new HSM product for Windows (the rebranded
OTG DiskExtender), but with the last access times getting updated during the
backup, writing meaningful rules is difficult.  We've been able to
demonstrate that, when we disable Outbound files in McAfee, we no longer
have the huge amount of files with access times from during the last backup.
However, we haven't been able to recreate the behavior for Tivoli support
using a smaller, more controlled backup for tracing purposes.  I shudder at
the thought of tracing the entire backup of a 600GB fileserver.

Has anybody else seen this, know of this, or might be willing to try
recreating it?  Helpful thoughts?

Thanks,
Alex
