Hi David,

try the option "Nwignorecompressbit           yes" in the dsm.opt.
Depending on various parameters NetWare compresses files from time to time.
This will change the compress atrribute and TSM will backup this "changed"
file.
With nwignorecompressbit = yes the attribute is ignored while TSM checks
for incremental backup.

Greetings
Jan Möwe

Hello all.  I just subscribed to the mail list today hoping that someone
could
provide an answer for the following issue that I am experiencing.

I have TSM server version 4.2 running on a Win 2k system.
The problem is appearing for the Novell NetWare clients that are backed up.
The NetWare clients are running TSM version 4.1.2.16.  The problem is that
from time to time many files are being backed up even though they did not
change.  The size did not change and the modified date did not change.
(Note:
attributes of the files did not change either).  I am seeing this occuring
throughout every volume on the server.  The end result is that Tivoli has
too
much data backed up which is eating every tape in my library.  I am not
seeing
this happen on my Windows clients.  Any thoughts?  Thanks.
