Did the permissions change on the file or owner or group?  If any of these
change, TSM will take a new copy of the file as if the file had changed.

Does anyone else see this issue?
I have seen several instances where TSM backed up a file when it had not
been modified in anyway.  Even when you look at the restore application,
there are several versions of a file, each with the same create date, the
same modified date, and different backed up dates.  I am curious if others,
or everyone sees this happening, or if I have some setting incorrect some
where.
There have been no "always backup" backups (selective) performed, so that
isn't what happened.

Clueless...
