Re: How does TSM know to backup file?

This is discussed in the client manual. See the chapter titled "Backing up
your data", section "Performing an incremental, selective, or
incremental-by-date backup". Review the remainder of the chapter for
additional details.

The only dumb question is the one that goes unasked.
The command line is your friend.
"Good enough" is the enemy of excellence.

Does anyone know the specifics on how TSM knows to backup a file vs. how
microsoft looks at changed files?  I have an application group that is
into
micro-managing their systems and they want to know why when they look at
the number of files backed up from TSM, it does not match what they are
looking at with Microsoft tools to see how many files had changed.

TSM Server - Solaris 8
TSM Software - 5.1.7.3
Client 5.1.0.0
