Keith,

What does your include/exclude list have set ?

I'm not an NT wizard, but I believe dll(s) would fall under the system type
files that I would want to exlcude, like pagefile.sys ..

I exclude my Winnt <dir> and Program Files <dir>

If I am not mistaken TSM will back up any  file that has been accessed >
(by date) -since dll(s) are called by apps their time/date/stamp changes..

For instance if I have fileA that has not changed in 2 weeks and I touch it
the date will change when I do an ls -al .  < TSM will back this file up @
backup time.

That's my 2 cents (probably all it's worth)

Subject:  Does 4.2 client have to constantly back up win2000 system DLL's ?


Hello,

It seems the new 4.2 client backs up the win2000 system dll's constantly
even though they have not changed.... any way around this?
