Ahhh, Netware - check the value of the tsm option "NWIGNORECOMpressbit". If set to no, then tsm will rebackup the file when netware compresses or decompresses the file.

I had considered that, and honestly, I wouldn't know how to tell if the permissions had changed on the days in question. I don't see why they would have changed. There are other files in the same directory that have their only backups on the same day as the oldest backups for these files in question (the day this node started backing up to TSM). Yet some of the files have had additional backups when it doesn't appear to have been necessary. We don't normally set permissions at the file level (this is a Netware server). Plus, some of the files in question wouldn't even have a need to be accessed.. things like Ghost(R) files and old archival type documents. It really boggles the mind.

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.
