Not sure what you mean by the last sentence. When you refer to
"differential or full backup", are you referring to other (non-TSM) backup
products?

For TSM, this is working as designed. See the TSM Windows client manual
chapter "Backing up your data", section "Performing an incremental,
selective, or incremental-by-date backup" for an explanation. Also take a
look at the RESETARCHIVEATTRIBUTE option (this is a new option in version
5.2).

There are no known defects with TSM in this area. It is almost certain
that *something* about the file has changed. However, if you can provide a
DETAILED step-by-step, mouse-click-by-mouse-click recreate scenario, I can
take a look at it. Alternatively, you can open a problem record with IBM
support.

Subject: Re: Strange backup behavior
Thought I would add my 2 cents worth :-
I have seen this behaviour as well (unexplainable) - on W2K. It seems like
the archive bit is set and not cleared with an incremental backup (we
tried
different backup products here). However, when we do a differential or
full
backup this bit is cleared.
I still have to get clarity whether this is a bug, known issue,
"limitation"
or the like with TSM or the Operating System ...
(PS: We saw this as well when only changin permissions in the parent
directory - without applying the permission change to all
sub-directories).

Subject: Strange backup behavior
I have a W2K box that has been backing up just fine for months. Nothing
has changed except the addition of service pack 4 in just as long.
However, when ever I run a backup the client backs up every single file
even though it's executing an incremental. As a test we event manually
did an incr on c:\ waited for it to complete, then did it again; it
backed up every file. Client version is 5.1.0 (realize there's an
upgrade but its worked for us so far) and the server version is 5.1.6.1
.
Any thought would be greatly appriciated
