Are your NetWare boxes running in a clustered environment? If so, you
may have a situation where NetWare changes a file attribute on every
file on every cluster disk that gets moved from one node to another.
When the attribute gets changed, TSM sees it as a changed file and backs
it up again.
I ran across this issue a year or so ago at a customer site. I don't
know the details (the NetWare admin was fiercely protective of his
environment and wasn't forthcoming with help). If this is the case, the
issue lay with NetWare, not TSM.
