We currently do daily incremental backups on a Sybase database server. The application uses a dat file for the container. This dat file is pre-allocated for space, so it does not grow. It also does not reflect any modification dates or attribute changes from day to day. Basically, differential backup will not work, so a full backup is required for that particular file. Has anyone ran into a situation like this before?

Backing up a single file whose attributes don't change

Only once - so this means that you really have to do fulls. There is no way that TSM will know that the file changed to do an incremental backup.
Hi,
you can create special MGMTClass containing copygroup with COPYMODE set to ABSOLUTE. Then assign this file to this MGMTClass.
This is from the help:
ABSolute
Specifies that Tivoli Storage Manager backs up the file regardless
of whether it has been modified.
The MODE value is used only for full incremental backup. This value is
ignored during partial incremental backup or selective backup.
