        Subject:        what determines a file's eligibility for backup?



For files on a windows system, what does TSM look at
to determine if a file has been modified and therefore
eligible to be backed up again?  Is it only the
modified date?  I know I've had problems before with
the sys admins doing recursive permissions changes on
directories that causes all the files to be backed up
again, but I don't know if that touches the modified
date or not.
