Bill, I also run a incremental Domino database backup daily, Monday to Saturday, and I have never known a full backup to take place after a reboot .
And your comment on ARCHIVELOG command leads me to believe I may have a problem of some sort. At the very least we are backing up too much transaction logs. Thanks to you & Mark for responding.

I must admit I have not seen this behavior on a Domino server. And even if every database gets a new DBIID when you reboot/restart Domino, this doesn't effect the ARCHIVELOGS command.

The Domino agent will back up only the logs for a given database or mailbox unless the file in question has a new DBID. When a new DBID is issued, the agent backs up the entire file. Domino files get a new DBID when: 1. the Domino service is stopped and restarted; or 2. the server is rebooted (see #1) 3. the file is reorg'd -- Mark Stapleton ([EMAIL PROTECTED]) IBM Certified Advanced Deployment Professional Tivoli Storage Management Solutions 2005 IBM Certified Advanced Technical Expert (CATE) AIX Office 262.521.5627
