If you are using a V2 server, you can set-up a schedule with an ACTION
of "command" and an OBJECT of a script file.

In this script file, you can code your incremental commands:

   dsmc incremental /home -pass=xxxx
   dsmc incremental /usr  -pass=xxxx
   dsmc incremental /var  -pass=xxxx

... etc.

If you are using a V1 server, you would have to set-up a schedule
for one of the file systems (ie incremental /home), and then code
   PRESCHED <name of script file>
in DSM.OPT.  The PRESCHED command will cause ADSM to run the script
file before the scheduled backup of /home.  Set-up the script file
as above, but don't code the /home filespace (since it is being
handled by the scheduled backup ...)
