Thomas, Thanks very much. That is what I would expect given our work this weekend.
And although I've checked Richard's site before, I simply forgot to check it today. Monday morning and all that...

Always first have a look at Richards fabulous TSM site: http://people.bu.edu/rbs/ADSM.funcdir Objects Updated "Total number of objects updated" element in a backup statistics summary. The Objects Updated field displays the number of files or directories whose contents did not change but whose attributes or ACLs had changed. The server updates its information about the attributes or ACLs without the objects themselves having to be sent to the server.

Jänner 2006 16:56 An: ADSM-L@VM.MARIST.EDU Betreff: [ADSM-L] What does "updated" really mean? Server: TSM 5.1.10.0 on AIX 5.2; client: TSM 5.1.7.0 on Windows 2003 I'm trying to understand what the client is reporting in the session summary when it reports: "01/23/2006 08:20:23 ANE4958I (Session: 47866, Node: ILOX-FS1) Total number of objects updated: 673,012" I've checked the product manuals, message manuals, IBM software support site, and the forum site. What exactly is being "updated?" We made some changes to that server over the weekend so the presence of the message and its non-zero count is no surprise. But I'd still like to understand exactly what TSM is trying to tell me. Thanks. Tab Trepagnier TSM Administrator Laitram, L.L.C.
