I am aware of the potential problem you raise below which is why I scheduled it to start running at 6 am on Saturday morning as activity on the TSM server during the day on Saturday is minimal.
I discovered this large file from the output of the "q pr" command. The file was either being moved as part of a migration or reclaimation process. I have seen it appear on a number of occasions over the past few months in these processes.

I would instead recommend inspecting the accounting log for a session with data of that size, and 1 or few objects. Likewise you could scan the ANE messages in the Activity Log, or have a look at the Summary table, for recent sessions. You don't say how you know about that file having been backed up: that may lead to more concise ways to determine its origin.
