Andy,

What exactly is the issue?  Personally, during my testing, it looked like
the TSM client maintained the last access date and NTFS didn't automatically
update the Last Access date as you describe when TSM accessed the file (on
WinNT4 SP6, I think).  The updated access time issues I encountered had to
do with interoperability with the McAfee virus scan software.  Here is the
message I posted with one of my actual tests copied and pasted in it.

I believe your statement that NTFS updates the Access Date when TSM access
the file possibly occurs under situations I didn't test.  Could you give us
more detail?
