Is there a list of what the TSM client checks for on a file to determine if
the file needs to be backed up? I have a client that is running both
BackupExec and TSM on servers and he's telling me that TSM backs up way more
than backupExec and 'what the users have changes.' Using their words.

This customer also has TPC Data and is using the Files as Risk report to
estimate how much data needs to be backed up. But I think that just goes on
the archive bit and the last modification date/time of the files. Which is
only a fraction of what TSM uses to determine a file's eligibility for
backup.

TIA,
Bill Boyer
