All, TSM 7.1.1 environment. My Windows fileserver colleague is asking me about any potential backup ramifications from disabling the LastAccessUpdate on our new Windows 2012R2 fileservers. I didn't find any definitive answers via Mr. Google so I thought I'd reach out and see if anyone in the group had some knowledge. My offhand thought is that since we don't do any HSM, we don't really use this particular bit, but...
Here is what he asked: By default Windows Server 2012 R2 disabled Last Access Update on files and folders. This is the registry location where this is stored: HKLM\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\FileSystem\NtfsDisableLastAccessUpdate This KB articles discusses this and it says this: https://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/cc785435.aspx The disablelastaccess parameter can affect programs such as Backup and Remote Storage that rely on this feature. Does the TSM Baclient rely on this value? With it disabled do we lose anything with TSM?
