Hi,
Using the ADSM/Tivoli client Version 4, Release 1, Level 1.0 on _SGI IRIX_,
I saw that backuping a file modifies the last access time of that
file. One can reproduce this behaviour by:
ls -lu file.xyz # shows the last access
dsmc incr file.xyz # now make a backup
ls -lu file.xyz # shows the last access which is now the time of backup
I think, this is a buggy behaviour, because backing up a file should
not touch - in any case - the file's status bits.
We have some cron scripts based on a correct file access time (deleting
core files for ex.), and they don't run correctly if this time is modified
by ADSM/Tivoli.
The LINUX client Version 4, Release 1, Level 2.0 does _not_ show this behaviour.
Regards
Joachim Backes
