Hi list,

Second post :-)

Win2k3 SP2 x64 Server.
Win2k3 SP2 32bit Client.
5.4.0 Server and Client.

We're a secondary school in the holidays.

Last night, the client backed up 129GB, which is about 125GB more than
normal.

On any given day, during the holidays, theres about 2-3GB of changed
files.

However, I did change a permission on a directory/folder tree that
contains 125GB of files.

I'm guessing TSM has backed up the whole file because of the permission
change. I'm guessing this is because subfile backup isn't being used
here. If subfile was turned on for that client, would it reduce the
amount of data it decided to backup?

Regards,

Jason Clarke
