Time Machine skip certain files

For some reason Time Machine doesn't want to backup every day a Microsoft Access file.


For some obscure reasons, sometimes it save it. I haven't been able to determine why.


These informations can be helpfull to give me assistance:


  • the file is stored in a volume which seems to be backup correctly
  • the file in not in the exclusion list and has never been in
  • the file modification date is changing as user modify it
  • I have tried to apply the 'touch' command to the file and start manually TM right after. But the file has not still being backup.
  • if I make a copy of the file at the same level of the file system, TM save it.
  • if I restore the latest version of the file from TM. Some data are missing in the file. That proove that the version is older.


Anyone can help?
