It CAN use the archive bit if its configured to (at least one of the clients I installed recently had that option in a 5.3.5 client), but most folks do not turn that on. I'm talking a Windows client that is. Now, exactly how it determines a file has changed, I'm not exactly sure about but I think

The client does not use the archive bit for backup, but it can reset the archive bit after backing up the file (see the RESETARCHIVEATTRIBUTE option). The client manual describes by what criteria TSM's progressive incremental backup methodology considers a file changed. See chapter 4, section "Ful

I haven't tried the 5.5 "fromdate" and "todate", but assuming it works as advertised on exchange data, then I don't think there is a need for an alternate server. You can just export straight to tape, then re-import later. I would also add in node renames but that is optional if you want to merge
