Good question.

The TSM client won't back up the file again if the archive bit is changed
(all other things being unchanged), but it will update the information in
the TSM server database.

Check the dsmsched.log file to see if the files are actually being backed
up, or just updated. Each updated file will show "Updating-->" instead of
"Normal File-->" if this is the case.

Regards,

Andy

Maybe the Anti-virus software is changing the ' Archive Bit ' ???
