Hi Andy Comment as follows (marked with #);
Flemming, The only possibilities I can think of: - someone ran a selective backup of the file (how have you verified that this is not the case?) # This is not the case, the only backup which has been performed on this server is a incremental scheduled backup! (verified through my activity log)! - trustee rights or other file attributes changed (not sure whether a change in trustee rights would be reflected in modification date; similar changes for Windows files do not show up in file modification date) # No such thing has happened... and another thing - the other files in the directory hasn't been backed up again! It seems sporadic regarding the "choice" of the files there are backed up again (without changes!) - copygroup has MODE=ABSOLUTE # Nope... it isn't - less likely, but not out of the realm of possibility with the little information available: incrbydate backups of select files/directories are being taken, but the entire file system is not backed up, so last file system backup date is not updated. # Not this options either ;o) As far as I know, there are no known problems with current versions of TSM regarding the incremental backup of truly unchanged files. # guess there are now ;o) - I have upgraded the client to the latest level (5.2.0)... even though I hate the idea of having to create an administrative account to access the webinterface! Regards Flemming
