Today, by default TSM will backup the file on every client. You can customize the settings by excluding *most* stuff found on all these systems and only backup a single full client which would be what you would rebuild your desktops with.
Also, there is an open RPQ for this functionality to be built into the product. -- Joshua S.

Can it back up a file only once for all the computers that have a copy of it? Or will it back up Winword.exe 5000 times for my whole organization? We're starting to look at what it will take to offer backup for the entire campus, and some of these advanced features would be desirable. Steve Cochran Dartmouth College
