I'm not sure why all the data would be getting backed up unless they were
also choosing the "Backup Always" option in the backup dialog.
A couple of things to try:
1) Have them start the GUI and select Action/Backup Domain from the menu.
This will cause all file spaces in the domain to be incrementally backed
up.
2) Better yet (see the second-to-last line of my signature information!),
create a shortcut on the desktop with the target being the fully-qualified
path to the CLI (dsmc.exe) followed by the INCREMENTAL command. When they
double-click on the shortcut, it will start the CLI and run the
incremental backup; when the backup is complete, the CLI will shut down.

Subject: W9x TSM Client Backup, v4.x
As simple as this may initially appear to be, I have a W9x client backing
up
to our TSM server (v4.1 running on AIX). Attempting a successful,
scheduled
backup to occur without user interaction is simply not worth my effort on
this O/S. So, they are responsible for opening the GUI, selecting LOCAL
and
commencing the backup periodically themselves. However, TSM attempts to
backup everything every time! I have no Management Classes that would
dictate such a thing to occur. Any idea's or or similar experiences?
