Hi Andy, When a volume is audited with FIX=NO, damaged files are marked as such, but not deleted. In this case, damaged files are not automatically eligible for backup again just by virtue of being damaged. Consider the possibility that the "damage" could be temporary, such as if the drive on which the audit was performed was dirty; and that once the drive is cleaned, another audit will show the file as being fine.
When a volume is audited with FIX=YES, then the damaged files will be deleted. If the damaged file is deleted AND it is the active version, then it will be eligible for backup the next time the client backup runs. If the damaged file is an INACTIVE version, then that by itself will not trigger another backup of the file (but of course the file could be backed up again if it has changed on the client system since the last time the file was backed up).

We have a situation where at least one tape that had undiscovered damaged files was copied to a copypool tape. Those files are not recoverable at this time. We are contemplating a full audit on all the volumes in the onsite pool, but need to know if the files marked damaged will be backed up again. Thanks for any info.
