There used to be an option for Netware called: NWIGNORECOMpressbit
I have not worked with NetWare for a while but this option would do what it sounds like it does - not re-backup the file when NetWare compresses it.

Netware is set to compress files that haven't been used in 7 days. I found some doc that said even with "compress yes" the tsm client will not compress netware compressed files before sending. But what about when the file goes from netware uncompressed to compressed? For instance, I create file A on the netware box today and during the nightly backup it gets processed. Then the file isn't touched for 7 days so netware compresses it. Does the tsm client then backup the file again because it changed? One TSM server is v5.1.8 and another is v5.2.3.2 both runing on win2000 boxes. -- Steve Bennett, (907) 465-5783 State of Alaska, Enterprise Technology Services, Technical Services Section
