Hi.

Do anyone know if it's possible to archive files
by the TSM client and NOT changing the last accessed date?
If - How?

I need it for an archive routine that finds old
files (not accessed since long time) in the centralised
Netware file servers from where we distribute personal
and project libraries to our customers PC's.

The intention is, like we always have tried to do in
the mainframes, have the date attributes to reflect
the customer activities. I.e. have the infrastructure
routines to behave transparent from the customers point
of view.

I'm doing the archiving by a Windows2000 TSM client access
via the shares and not by the TSM Netware client to
guarantee later access independent from possible file
server farm changes in the future.

Have someone tried something in this area, please tell
me where you found the worst pitfalls.

  /Lars
