Sam,
Key point to understand is that when you perform an incremental backup, the
TSM client receives from the TSM server a list of files and directories that
were backed up previously. The TSM client also scans the system's local
drives for a separate list of files that currently reside on the system.
These two lists are compared to see what to backup. If there are files and
directories that were backed up previously but no longer exist on the local
file systems, then those objects are marked inactive. They are 'deleted
objects'. These could be objects that were deleted, moved, renamed, etc...
TSM doesn't delete anything off of the local filesystems during backup. But
it does keep track of files that have been deleted/moved/renamed since the
last backup.

Subject: Total number of objects deleted
Adsmer's
We did a fresh backup of one our clients filespaces(client was previously
backed up) which contains multiple filespaces. We renamed the filespace
that we were going to do a fresh backup on. Backup was sucessful. The
total number of objects deleted was 588. My concern is that it did in fact
delete data? Am I missing something here? See stat's below
Here are the stats for vol1:
Total number of objects inspected: 295,707

Total number of objects failed: 0
