Copy mode is set to modified, and has been since day one (Nov, 2001). I
assume if the copy mode was set to absolute, every file would backup every
time... and that is not happening. It just appears TSM is backing things
up randomly. I checked the file details using the TSM restore utility, and
each version of the file was absolutely identical, with the exception of
the backed up date.
I see this condition Netware servers, mostly. I don't recall running
across this condition on NT/W2K or my AIX servers.

Check that your copy group "copy mode" is not set to absolute.
Is this windows? Are file permissions being changed?

Does anyone else see this issue?
I have seen several instances where TSM backed up a file when it had not
been modified in anyway. Even when you look at the restore application,
there are several versions of a file, each with the same create date, the
same modified date, and different backed up dates. I am curious if others,
or everyone sees this happening, or if I have some setting incorrect some
where.
There have been no "always backup" backups (selective) performed, so that
isn't what happened.
Clueless...
