Hi all,

for some reason I decided I wanted to do a selective of some HSM
filesystems. I know from experience that if a file is migrated before the
first incremental, the server makes an internal copy, ie. the file is not
recalled first to the client. Now, on our production server we require files
to be backed-up before migration, so normal incremental allways reads from
disk. I expected the selective to behave in the same way as incremental of
migrated files, but, to my great surprise, TSM is recalling each and every
file that selective backs-up. The manual is unclear on weather or not this
is a feature, and unfortunately, this means I cannot do a selective on my
filesystems as I had intended.

So, has anyone noticed this bahaviour before? We are running client version
5.2.0.0 on AIX jfs....
