The order in which domains are processed is undocumented, as we did not
intend to provide a preferred sequence. If you wish to back up the file
systems in a particular sequence, here are some alternatives:
a) Use separate "dsmc incremental" commands, like this:
dsmc incremental /fs1
dsmc incremental /fs2
dsmc incremental /fs3
b) Create a file containing "incremental" commands in the preferred
sequence, then run "dsmc macro" against this file, like this:
contents of mymacro.txt:
incremental /fs1
incremental /fs2
incremental /fs3
then run:
dsmc macro mymacro.txt
c) Specify your file systems on the command line:
dsmc incremental /fs1 /fs2 /fs3
The file specifications are processed in sequence from left to right. In
this case, though, you may be limited by the 20 file specification maximum
of the command line interface (depending on the number of file systems you
have to back up).

The only dumb question is the one that goes unasked.
The command line is your friend.

Subject: Re: dsm.opt domain backup order
Why, how does dsmc process the domain list in the dsm.opt file? Curious.
