Hi -

Just upgraded from TSM client release 3.7.1 to 3.7.2 on an NT 4.0 workstation, 
and noticed some strange goings on....

On 8/19 (last incremental under TSM 3.7.1, my machine had 39K files on it, and 
on that day I backed up 106 files - a pretty average day for this particular 
machine.  I skipped a few days of backups, and then today, I ran the first 
incremental under the 3.7.2 release.  It told me that I now had 40, 317 files 
on the machine (approximately 600 more), but the unusual thing was that it 
backed up 10K files again, and updated another 27K.  Does anyone know why this 
all took place.  Interestingly, the sum of the two numbers does not add up to 
what was inspected (only 17 files were expired), so it didn't touch everything, 
but it was close.  Additionally, some of the files that were backed up were 
files that haven't been touched sine they were placed on the machine, such as 
the installation packages for NT and Lotus SmartSuite.

If this is normal behavior, I need to know before I plan on a deployment; and 
if it is normal, I am wondering why.  Sort of sounds like a bug.....
