Zoltan:
For what it is worth, I’ve seen this behavior for years. I attempted to
pursue it a couple of times with IBM support but never got anywhere.
In fact, it just occurred last week//
OS: Red Hat Enterprise Linux Server release 6.8 (Santiago)
TSM Server Version 7, Release 1, Level 7.200
Source node statistics (from BACKUPS table):
FSID Type State Count
1 DIR INACTIVE_VERSION 353
1 DIR ACTIVE_VERSION 57355
1 FILE INACTIVE_VERSION 1055
1 FILE ACTIVE_VERSION 392870
2 DIR ACTIVE_VERSION 4161
2 FILE ACTIVE_VERSION 25751
Target node statistics (from BACKUPS table):
FSID Type State Count
1 DIR INACTIVE_VERSION 706
1 DIR ACTIVE_VERSION 114710
1 FILE INACTIVE_VERSION 1055
1 FILE ACTIVE_VERSION 393246
2 DIR ACTIVE_VERSION 4161
2 FILE ACTIVE_VERSION 25751
Note the duplication of the directories - so obvious, I didn’t pursue. I did
look into the additional active files, and many were inconsequential (e.g.,
files named .ds_store; this is a macOS X platform) but there were a number of
other files with real content. In this case, the additional files were not a
problem, so I didn’t pursue further, other than verifying that expiration
wasn’t running on the source server, so the origin was uncertain

I am curious if anyone has seen anything like this.
A node was exported (filedata=all) from one server to another (all servers
are 7.1.7.300 RHEL)
After successful completion (took a week due to 6TB+ to process) and
copypool backups on the new server, the Total Occupancy counts are the same
(13.52TB). However, the file counts are waaay off (original=17,561,816 vs
copy=12,471,862)
There haven't been any backups performed to either the original (since the
export) or new node. Policies are the same on both servers and even if they
weren't, that wouldn't explain the same occupancy size/total.
Neither server runs dedup (DISK based storage volumes).
Any thoughts?
