Size of backed up file does not match size of restored file






Can anyone tell me what TSM uses as the size of file as reported by
scheduled backup (Dsmsched.log) and a command line restore.



We have a case where a file is backed up using a dynamic mgmt class.  This
file changes during backup.



The file size as reported by backup is:



06/21/2004 22:51:08 Normal File-->     1,278,222,336 \\xxxxxxxxxxx [Sent]



The file as reported by restore is:



Restoring   1,272,979,456 xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx [Done]



The file restored has a modified date of 06/21/2004 22:34.  The backup of
the server started at 06/21/2004 at 22:30.  There were no other backups of
this file after this backup.  The active file was restored.



So the size of the file as reported by restore does not match the size of
the file as reported by backup.





Thanks,
