We just went through this same issue on a Linux box. From the book:
According to the TSM 7.1.1 Backup-Archives client manual:
If only the following attributes change, the attributes are updated on the
Tivoli
Storage Manager server, but the file is not backed up:
– File owner
– File permissions
– Inode
– Group ID
– Change time (ctime) attribute. See the *updatectime *option for details.
– Icon location (Mac OS X only)
– Type or creator (Mac OS X only)
That tells me that there's no way to use TSM to restore the file ownerships
and permissions on a Linux system.
