You are correct, TSM does not use the archive bit to determine what gets backed up.

Regards Cameron Andy Carlson <[EMAIL PROTECTED] To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] RENET.ORG> cc: Sent by: "ADSM: Subject: Arhive Bit on Netware after Tape Backup/Restore Dist Stor Manager" <[EMAIL PROTECTED] ST.EDU> 03/16/2002 03:12 AM Please respond to "ADSM: Dist Stor Manager" We have some big Netware (running Groupwise) servers that the admins will backup/upgrade os/restore using DLT tape instead of TSM. The problem is that they claim the arhive bit is set off, so TSM backs all the files up on the next incremental. Has anyone else experienced this? Is there a neat utility to turn the archive bits back on? Thanks.
