I am sure everyone is aware that if the security permissions are changed the
file does not get modified nor its modified date but it will be backed up
again to get the new permissions.

Subject: Re: Backups of a file when it hasn't changed.


I too have seen this same phenomenon. Our environment is TSM 4.2.1.9 Server
on AIX 5.1. Clients  where I have seen multiple backups of files are on
Windows NT/2000. It is puzzling because we have COPYMODE of MODIFIED in our
management classes. I have various files on my Win2000 workstation that have
not changed but have been backed up three times.

I have been looking into this and am beginning to wonder if a product like
DISKEEPER that defrags the drive could cause this?
