Thanks, Andy that sounds like it could be it! The APAR states:
"If the TSM client inspection phase examines a file which changes shortly afer the inspection occurs, but before the actual data is sent to the TSM server, an improper file backup of the object will exist on the TSM server. This can cause subsequent restore actions of the object to restore the improper file size of the object, which could prevent associated applications from using the data correctly." Is this saying that the restore is not actually restoring all of the data?!! -----Original Message----- From: Andrew Raibeck [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: June 24, 2004 9:16 AM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: Re: Size of backed up file does not match size of restored file Hi Tim, This might be APAR IC40702.

"Rushforth, Tim" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Sent by: "ADSM: Dist Stor Manager" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> 06/23/2004 14:22 Please respond to "ADSM: Dist Stor Manager" To [EMAIL PROTECTED] cc Subject Size of backed up file does not match size of restored file Can anyone tell me what TSM uses as the size of file as reported by scheduled backup (Dsmsched.log) and a command line restore. We have a case where a file is backed up using a dynamic mgmt class. This file changes during backup. The file size as reported by backup is: 06/21/2004 22:51:08 Normal File--> 1,278,222,336 \\xxxxxxxxxxx [Sent] The file as reported by restore is: Restoring 1,272,979,456 xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx [Done] The file restored has a modified date of 06/21/2004 22:34. The backup of the server started at 06/21/2004 at 22:30. There were no other backups of this file after this backup. The active file was restored. So the size of the file as reported by restore does not match the size of the file as reported by backup. Thanks, Tim Rushforth City of Winnipeg
