Before anyone shakes their fists and yells, "not AGAIN!!!",
please understand that this is really just a *reminder*,
referring to the *same* problem as was discovered last
October. If you installed the fixing patch for this last
October, you are OK for the change to DST.
The notice is not as clear as it could be, so in order to
avoid further confusion, I have asked that it be changed to
something like this:
=========================================================
REMINDER
Daylight Savings Time Fix for Windows NT/2000
Last October a problem was discovered in the TSM client for
Windows NT and 2000 that caused the first incremental backup
following a change between Standard Time and Daylight Savings
Time to back up all files. (Thereafter incremental backups
would run normally, at least until the next change between
Standard Time and Daylight Savings Time.)
This problem is documented in APAR IC28544. It affects data
only on NTFS volumes, so Windows 95 and 98 are not affected;
Windows NT and 2000 FAT-formatted volumes are not affected.
The problem affects TSM Windows client versions
3.7.2.0 - 3.7.2.16, and 4.1.0.0 - 4.1.1.0.
The problem was fixed in TSM Windows client versions
3.7.2.17 - 3.7.2.19, 4.1.1.16, and 4.1.2.0.
For TSM Windows clients running on the Alpha processor, the
problem is fixed in version 3.7.2.19.
If you have already applied a fixing version from last October
(or later), then you do not need to do anything for the upcoming
change to Daylight Savings Time. If you are currently running a
version of the client that does not have the fix for this
problem, then it is recommended that you apply one of the
following patches:
For the TSM version 4.1 client, patch 4.1.2.12
For the TSM version 3.7 client, patch 3.7.2.19 (both x86 and
Alpha)
