Hi Gus A directory service has to be syncronized all the time... so every split-second all objects in eDirectory/NDS will get a new time-stamp - therefore you will always make a total backup because the object has "changed".
regarding the follow-up on this question... a backup of NDS/eDirectory is to be used as a last option - normally you will restore "Server Specific Info", and then use your existing replica's to restore NDS!

I noticed that; 1. 'dsmc i NDS:' will backup all the objects again and again as if there is no true incremental backup of it. Documentation says about 'domain' option for ENTIRE NDS bacckup. So, do I have no choice, but backing up the entire objects every night? 2. NDS backup was taking too long. Changed dsm.opt parameters; tcpw 64; txnb=25600 and it helped a little bit. Any other suggestion on tunning parameter for NetWare client backup? Thanks a lot for your help!!
