Just to confirm that I understood correctly, with a Unix system, if a files permission is changed, then backed up, TSM is unable to the restore the files with the previous permissions. It will only restore the files with the latest backup permissions?
Yes.
Is this also the case in other OS's like Netware? or just Unix based (AIX, HP, Linux, Solais...)
Any OS making use of ACLs (which Unix can, but typically not used), or which conventionally employs extended attributes (Netware, Windows) results in the use of storage pools for the preservation of unique backup instances.
