Will FDRABR also backup datasets that have already been backed up by FDR, but have been changed since the last backup and HSM has run since the last FDR backup turning the changed indicator bit off? Will FDR still backup the changed version of this dataset even though HSM has turned off the changed indicator.

If so, does FDR keep track of changed datasets by an additional flag that HSM doesn't use?

I have HSM and FDR working the way you describe, but my concern is that if I run HSM after FDR and HSM resets the change bit, there is a chance that HSM could backup a dataset that has been newly created/modified since the FDR backup ended and the HSM backup started that would be backed up by HSM, its bit reset, and then FDR would not backup the DSN during the next run.
No problem. FDRABR has another flag that tells us if ANY FDRABR backup exists for the dataset. If it is not on, we always back it up, regardless of the update flag.
