Even if I already have a complete incremental backup on my server (i.e. the files are ALREADY backed up), it will still send the files across the network. Just want to verify my understand of that is correct. I did run a test and it looked to me like it just sent the data over even though I verified it was already on the server (a directory of static files). In fact the only time this sort of thing isn't true is when you create a backupset. My understanding then is that it will indeed take the data from the TSM server for those files that are already backed up. Correct?
