Are you sure that something like ACL's, extended attributes, file system
compression,  or trustee rights are not
the cause for adsm backing these files up? ADSM will detect changes to files
other than the binary image of the file
...different things trigger a backup on different platforms. The one bug I'm
aware of in this area is with the version 3
NetWare client. NWIGNORECOMPRESSBIT is broken (to be fixed in the next PTF).

Hi there,
we have several ADSM OS/2 clients connected to an ADSM MVS server.
Everything works fine except
that we got some backup files that are completely identical but they are
backed up several times.
We did a binary compare on them to prove this. Other files in the same
directory are only backed up
once. Did anybody else out there observe the same phenomen? How can we
avoid it? Thanks in
advance for your advice.
Kind regards,
