Well, either something is broken or something isn't what you are
expecting...

to verify, from your unix prompt, in the directory
"/home/u/NetCmmnd/proyecto/rexx/"  do a "df ./"
it should show /home as the file system...
AIX-> df ./
Filesystem    512-blocks      Free %Used    Iused %Iused Mounted on
/home            3899392   1061264   73%     3040     1% /home

then double check
tsm> q file
Num     Last Incr Date      Type    File Space Name
---     --------------      ----    ---------------
<... stuff deteted ...>
  6   06/13/2003 06:16:36   JFS     /home
<... more stuff deleted ...>

now do an "ls -l /home/u/NetCmmnd/proyecto/rexx/*.rex" and if any of those
files show a date later than the date on the "Last Incr Date", it will be
backed up, every time you do your incremental with the -incrbydate (until
you do another plain "incr" and the "last incr date" is updated...
NOTE: a ~failed~ incremental will not update the "last incr date" an
incremental must finish successfully for the date to be updated...

IF not, I would look into upgrading the client code.

Might I point out that you have not provided any information on what TSM
client level you are at, what platform it is for (AIX, Solaris, etc...) you
have not provided the listing of what you are seeing with your "q file" and
you are not providing information on an "ls -l" of the files in question.

without any hard proof of what they are... only guesses can be made...
sorry...

Dwight

yes, I checked with a query -incremental the last backup date and TSM add
one new backup. If I do not mofified anything file, why TSM backed up
again?

The manual states that:
If a file system is specified, all new and changed files are backed up.
In addition, the last incremental date for the file space is updated on the
server.
If a file or directory is specified, the last incremental date is not
updated.
This means the file or directory might be backed up again if a later backup
is performed using the incrbydate option.

so if you did
      I  /home/u/NetCmmnd/proyecto/rexx/*.rex
followed by
      I -incrbydate /home/u/NetCmmnd/proyecto/rexx/*.rex
the last backup date of the filesystem "home" would not have been
updated...
you can view the last backup date of the file system via a query file

hope this helps
Dwight

I did an full backup and then did a incremental by date backup

if the files do not was updated, why TSM backed up all files in the
incremental by date?

So all "active" versions of files stored on a TSM server is what you can
classify as ~the current restore set~.
They make up all the data as it existed the last time a ~backup~ was
performed (be it "incr" or "sel")
Now, what might be missing ?   files that are found in "exclude"
statements, files that failed to back up, etc...
Say we are on a windows box and you do a
      restore -subdir=yes C:\*
tsm will give you back all the "active" files.

hi, how I know if the active version is a full or partial incremental
backup?
