It wasn't a problem before (unicode client support); I've done exactly that
with WinNT, Win2K and Unix clients in prior versions.  (In the old days the
vol-label on WinNT needed to be the same.)

As long as you didn't change the TSM client-level from non-unicode to
unicode, you should get what you wanted -- resumption of previous
incremental... report to IBM if you got a "full" by only making the change
you described.  What level of client you did you run?

Subject: Renaming tsm winxx clients


when a server ex. server01 with drives c: and d: are initially backed up
with tsm
2 file spaces besides the systemobject are are created  \\server01\c$ and
\\server01\d$

i can then rename the server to server99 and rename the filespaces to
\\server99\c$ and \\server99\d$

my next incremental backup seems to be a full backup
is this normal in a situation where you rename a server
