Thanks for all the responses. In my case, the problem is definitely restricted to systemobjects. (Although I'm going to add the DIRMC statments to prevent problems in the future.) If I put an "include.systemobject mgtclass" into the optionset or into dsm.opt, is that going to override a "domain -systemobject" statement? Will it be honored by a scheduled "dsmc backup systemobject" command? My concern is that I had tons of performance problems when I was trying to backup the systemobjects as part of my nightly incremental backup runs, and I don't want to reintroduce that problem to fix another one. I'd like to keep the files and the systemobjects in separate processes if I can.
