In our environment, I have seen this when a checkdisk has been performed, a drive has been swapped, defragmenting a drive can cause the defragmented data to be sent, moving disks in a SAN. I would have to guess that breaking a mirror set and bringing up the mirror instead of a primary drive could produce the same result. To test you can move all the data from one directory into another and then back to the same directory, I am sure it will all be backed up at the next backup.
I do not know every technical nuance to TSM but when the file is scanned and checked against the TSM DB it sees that the file location has changed and there needs to be backed up. I have not looked into a way to work around this but I would guess there is not a way.

I have a few NT4 servers with TSM 4.2.1.20 client that occasionally do a full backup instead of an incremental. There are many files that have no change in size or date or permissions (at least that I can see). I just turned file auditing on to see if I can catch anything. Any ideas on what may trigger a full backup? Thanks in advance. James Louie Philip Morris Management Corp.
