We just went through this same issue on a Linux box. From the book: According to the TSM 7.1.1 Backup-Archives client manual:
If only the following attributes change, the attributes are updated on the Tivoli Storage Manager server, but the file is not backed up: – File owner – File permissions – Inode – Group ID – Change time (ctime) attribute. See the *updatectime *option for details. – Icon location (Mac OS X only) – Type or creator (Mac OS X only) That tells me that there's no way to use TSM to restore the file ownerships and permissions on a Linux system.
