This means that the TSM client won't send a new copy of the file to the TSM
server, but just tells the TSM server the new attributes of the file. The
TSM server then destroys the old attributes, and stores the new ones.

This can be a problem when a backup runs after a runaway chmod (or the
equivalent on your OS): you cannot restore the old permissions without
reverting to older versions of the file (if there are any).
