I'm trying to figure out when the permission of certain files changed. I ran a few tests, and I'm not sure I like the behavior of TSM. Maybe I'm missing something.
- I backed up a file a month ago. - The file hasn't changed for a month - Today I changed the permission from 644 to 444. - I ran a "dsmc i" and it didn't back up the file again, just updated: "Total number of objects updated: 1" - When I browse the files for restore, there was no indication of the permission change - When I restore the file with a point-in-time from before this update, it still restores the file with the current permission! It doesn't seem this is how it should work, but I do understand that the metadata of the file is probably stored in the TSM DB and there is probably no facility to maintain metadata history. Does this seem strange to anyone? -Shawn This message and any attachments (the "message") is intended solely for the addressees and is confidential.
