Error description
When exporting a node which contains group data with TODATE and TOTIME options, the group data which had been backed up after the date/time can also be exported. It is working as designed and should be notified in the manual. Also, when using the FILEDATA option for the node which contains group data, the data which does not belong to target objects may also be exported. For example, if group data will be exported with the option FILEDATA=BACKUPACTIVE when the TODATE or TOTIME parameters are specified, it is possible that also inactive backup data is included. This applies to all the group data like "base/incremental delta" group, "peer" group (VE backup, especially with incremental forever backup) and "base and attribute" group (such as table of contents for an NDMP backup). Customer/L2 Diagnostics: none Tivoli Storage Manager Versions Affected: Tivoli Storage Manager Server 6.2, 6.3 and 7.1 for all supported platforms Initial Impact: low Additional Keywords: zz62 zz63 zz71 vm filedata backupactive todate totime IC90999

Problem conclusion
The Administrator's Reference, the TODATE parameter of the EXPORT NODE commands will be updated to include the following text: "Important: If you have group data on the node that you are exporting, data that was backed up after the TODATE or TOTIME parameters can be exported. An example of group data is virtual machine data or system state backup data. The incremental backup processing can cause additional files that do not meet the filtering criteria to be exported, so that there is a consistent image for the backup data." Affected platforms: AIX, HP-UX, Solaris, Linux, and Windows.
