I'm trying to figure out when the permission of certain files changed.   I
ran a few tests, and I'm not sure I like the behavior of TSM.  Maybe I'm
missing something.

- I backed up a file a month ago.
- The file hasn't changed for a month
- Today I changed the permission from 644 to 444.
- I ran a "dsmc i" and it didn't back up the file again, just updated:
"Total number of objects updated:   1"
- When I browse the files for restore, there was no indication of the
permission change
- When I restore the file with a point-in-time from before this update, it
still restores the file with the current permission!

It doesn't seem this is how it should work, but I do understand that the
metadata of the file is probably stored in the TSM DB and there is
probably no facility to maintain metadata history.    Does this seem
strange to anyone?
