Re: Backup of ownership and ACLs
Hello I think, there's an option called SKIPACLUPDATCHECK, which can be used to prevent incr backups just because of changing ACL-infos. Give it a try.

Everything is working fine and the new Fibre attach drives are working very well. My question really relates to how I differentiate between the volumes in the library. I have 3 frames and need to split the columns equally between the servers. I have changed the categories at both libraries and now the other library does not see the volumes. The following is info about the site. TSM for Sun Solaris 4.1.2.0 X2 E220R ServersX2 3494 L12 D12 S10 X1 Fibre Attached 3590E X4 Any Info at all would be helpful.
