Backup candidacy is described in the client manual, around topic
"Understanding which files are backed up".

There might be an APAR, which you could search for based upon your
client level and file nature details.

If it becomes necessary, you can perform a client trace with the
FIOATTRIBS flag: see examples of output on the IBM site.
