The only thing I've personally seen that does that is using tsm compression. For some reason, turning TSM compression on at the netware clients made them start doing full (albeit compressed) backups everyday. I wonder if virus scanners being run with particular settings would be enough to trick tsm into thinking the file was modified?
>>> [EMAIL PROTECTED] 3/7/2006 11:33:03 AM >>> We have noticed on our Novell servers, each night a large amount of data is getting backed up. From our investigation all \most of this data isn't accessed regularly, so in fact it really shouldn't be getting backed up. Could someone refresh my memory on the rules TSM uses to determine if a file or folder is a candidate for backup, and if these parameters can be changed?
