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 ver

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. -- Phillip Ford Senior Software Specialist Corporate

I had considered that, and honestly, I wouldn't know how to tell if the permissions had changed on the days in question. I don't see why they would have changed. There are other files in the same dir

Check that your copy group "copy mode" is not set to absolute. Is this windows? Are file permissions being changed? Does anyone else see this issue? I have seen several instances where TSM backed up

Copy mode is set to modified, and has been since day one (Nov, 2001). I assume if the copy mode was set to absolute, every file would backup every time... and that is not happening. It just appears T

Ahhh, Netware - check the value of the tsm option "NWIGNORECOMpressbit". If set to no, then tsm will rebackup the file when netware compresses or decompresses the file. I had considered that, and hon

And, how nice it was of Tivoli to set the default of that to "no". That is probably my problem. I will make that change to all the Netware servers on Monday (never change things on Friday unless you

I too have seen this same phenomenon. Our environment is TSM 4.2.1.9 Server on AIX 5.1. Clients where I have seen multiple backups of files are on Windows NT/2000. It is puzzling because we have COPY

I am sure everyone is aware that if the security permissions are changed the file does not get modified nor its modified date but it will be backed up again to get the new permissions. Paul D. Seay,

Thanks for the thought, but I know of nothing that would have changed security permissions. Non on my workstation. John I am sure everyone is aware that if the security permissions are changed the fi

We saw this behavior with Macintosh namespace files and 3.7 and 4.1 clients. At the moment we are using a 3.1 client on servers with Macintosh namespace loaded. Does anyone else see this issue? I hav

Yes, very frustrating. Had an NT admin recursively change permissions at the top level of a 50GB+ drive last week ....... took forever and a frigging day for the thing to finish backing up. I've thre
