Question for you NetWare gurus:

Environment: NetWare 4.10, ADSM 2.1.0.3

Question:  Does ADSM update the timestamps on directories when it
backs
           up files from those directories?

           One of our NetWare users reports that this is the case, and
has
           some pretty strong evidence to support it.  The timestamps
in
           the dsmsched.log file match the timestamps on the
directories.

           However, we see one other inexplicable behaviour.  An ADSM
           incremental is backing up all the files in some
directories
           (perhaps all), even though the timestamps on those files
indicate
           that they have not not changed recently.  This seems to
only have
           happened on one particular day.  We cannot explain why - no
one
           has access to this volume, other than the sysadmin, and he
"did
           not make any changes that day".

Question:  On NetWare, what does ADSM look at (besides the timestamp)
on a
           file to determine whether it has changed or not?

Thanks for any ideas.
