Hi, Richard. That was a piece of information that I didn't include. That's
funny, seeing as how it's the crux of the problem. Sorry about that.
What I am experiencing on my fileserver is that 3 million files (75%) have
last access times that coincide with the backup window. Only about 50,000
files are actually backed up. That's 2,950,000 files that were inspected
and had access times updated but weren't back up.
The client doesn't normally update access times on inspection. We're only
seeing this behavior when Outbound file scanning is enabled for McAfee on
that server, and only when we're running our normal backup. When we do a
small backup, say, of a single directory, and when we do the normal backup
with Outbound disabled, we don't see this.
Thanks,
Alex

Alex - I'm not aware of any platform on which the Last Access times
are *not* updated by TSM in any Backup/Archive operation.
The product utilizes standard data access methods in each client
operating system, and reading the file to send it to the server
causes this timestamp to be updated. Some file systems accommodate
backups via snapshotting or the like, which avoids the timestamp
issue, but most file systems provide no such accommodation.
