To you dsm.opt file to skip checking for those updates and don’t back
them up again.
Yeah, but then a restore gives you potentially an unusable file system
as the ownership of the files and ACL's are all wrong. Better to bite
the bullet and back them up again IMHO.
Actually I thought TSM only updated the metadata if the mode/owner
changed, not re-backed the file…
That was my understanding but I have seen TSM rebacked up large amounts
of data where the owner of the file changed in the past, so your mileage
may vary.
Also ACL's are stored in extended attributes which are stored with the
files and changes will definitely cause the file to be backed up again.
