Your offhand thought is correct. NtfsDisableLastAccessUpdate goes all the way back to Windows 2000 where the time stamp of a directory would change if you did something with the files in it. I find it hard to imagine that anyone backs up based on the last-access time stamp and not the

“A major show stopper is that TSM 7.1 does not support TSM 5 clients/servers/agents.” One should note that ”not supported” is not the same as ”not working” which makes this a not-so-major show stopper. We still have a bunch of TSM 5.4.x clients and even a 5.3.0.15 happily backing up to a 7.1

I do not think there is such a thing as a true-up with IBM. In a PVU licensing environment, if you get hit by an IBM Audit (as we did last year) you are expected to have all TSM servers and clients properly licensed at all times except for: - test/developement TSM servers - servers/nodes
