Yep, you are correct. This change went into 5.1.5. We didn't have an APAR
on it, which is why I didn't mention one before, and I couldn't recollect
when the change was made. But since you asked, I looked a little deeper
and found out that this is indeed the case. So  yes, you need to be at
5.1.6 (actually 5.1.5 or higher, but I'd prefer to see you on 5.1.6   :-).

Ok I wasn't dreaming! This is what I saw describing changes for 5.1.5:

Ignore NTFS compression attribute
During an incremental backup, if the only change to a file is the
compression attribute, the client will send the attribute update to the
Storage Manager server without backing up the entire contents of the file.
This enhancement does not apply to files residing on journaled file
systems.
See Full and partial incremental backup for more information.

So I assume I need 5.1.5 or higher for this to work?  Otherwise entire
file
is sent?

Thanks,

Tim

No, there is no option. For Windows, TSM doesn't back up the file if the
only difference is the compression attribute; in this case, only the
attributes for the latest backup version are updated on the TSM server.

Is there something similar to NWIGNORECOMpressbit (If a file is compressed
on NetWare, TSM doesn't consider this a change if set to Yes) for Windows
NTFS compressed files?

I thought I saw this somewhere but can't find it anywhere now!
