The TDP for Domino agent only backs up the full database when there is a change in the database's ID number. In Domino, this only happens when Domino is stopped and restarted, or when the database/mailfile is compacted or otherwise reorganized. Otherwise, the TDP agent only backs up the logs associated with the files. Test it. Compact a selected group of .nsf files, and then check the TSM schedule logs the next morning. A good beer says they've been fully backed up. -- Mark Stapleton ([EMAIL PROTECTED]) Certified TSM consultant Certified AIX system engineer MSCE
